Surprisingly incredible!!!!
Afeter a long time, I decided to get back to practice my blues harmonica (my main instrument is elec.guitar) - I have bought some harley benton guitars and thought they're pretty decent... So, I decided go back to harmonica, and found this lovely box with the all 12 keys for a unbelievable price... I must confess I wasn't 100% confident as I found this "too cheap"... When it came home, it was a lovely surprise... a beautiful case, with a immaculate finish... and the harmonicas surprised me with a beautiful tone (to be honest I think they sound better than the "entry-level" Honners, and really close to the top ones)... I've checked with my electronic tuner, they were all in perfect pitch... and I asked myself the same question as when I bought my Harley Benton guitars: How can a cheap instrument delivers you this great quality, and sound better than many expensive ones? Give yourself a chance and be surprised!!! Now, low budget is not anymore a barrier for you to get an instrument with a good sound quality. Thank you Harley Benton!!!

Unbeatable harmonica set at this price...
I bought this set of Harley Benton harmonicas because I decided I wanted to add a harmonica section to a couple of songs we are working on.
None of us in the band are pro harmonica players by any stretch of the imagination - hence why I opted for this very budget option - but we have added a few sections into a number of songs and they sound fantastic for what we need.
We find them easy to handle and to get a half decent melody part out of and for harmonicas that work out costing something like £2 each they give quite a thick and rich sound when coming through the PA system.
Expert harmonica players would most likely find them poor imitations and probably wouldn't be looking in this price range anyway - but for a group of amateur harmonica players to add a couple of harmonica parts into songs they are easy to play and sound great.
And with the nice little case for the price, absolutely unbeatable for the price!

Great for club shows
I am a folk/acoustic punk musician. I use these mainly for small melodies inside the songs. Nothing fancy. I have these for about six months and I like them very much. Of course, I can feel the difference between them and the Hohner ones I have, but for the small gigs I do, these are perfrct. The set is perfect, because you can have a harmonica for every song you do, no matter of the key. Good quality. Good sound.

Good budget set of blues harps.
I bought these as I needed to be able to cover all the black note keys when guitarists use a capo. They are well made, the case is well made and fits. The harps are not as good sounding as the Hohner harps, but they are a fraction of the price. I have gigged them for four or five years now, and they still work well.

A must have if you're into Blues
I bought these because I'm massively into blues. They're perfect!! Every note is in there so you'll also be able to play blues harmonica in what tone you want. The cleaning is a brilliant idea as well although the fluff from it does run the inside of the case a bit. However, tone is what they're for so for that they're perfect. Very stylish case when closed too and extremely portable.

Unbelievable
Incredible value for money. 12 harmonicas for under £70? Just over a fiver each? Wow. They don't play too badly either - perhaps a little thinner than your top of the line harps but you can still get some nice noises out of these. Fantastic. Very pleased. Thanks a lot Thomann!

Very good for the price
I bought this set quite a while back, and have been using these harmonicas in live environments since the purchase.
For the price, this is phenomenal, and it is very handy having choice of key.
I know many musicians who never use harmonica due to the expense and the effort of buying harmonicas in the suitable keys.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is interested in playing harmonica, either for fun, or for adding to your live arrangements.

A novices view....
As a novice just wanting to try out the instrument in different keys, this is ideal - very nicely presented too, with a practical lined carry case. Unfortunately my skill set is such that I cant give an expert opinion, but for a beginner like me its perfect. All pieces functioned properly with no dead notes and were nicely finished.
