Awesome Suzuki harmonica
December 25, 2016
OMG ! i love this harmonica, it feels and sounds awesome. I tried a 2 other harmonica's that i had around the house that had not been used in years and they were light and the sound was not rich, cheap would be a better answer. I am a beginner still but recently tried to give learning another go but this makes things easier because of the quality. It comes in a good solid protective box which can be a little tricky to open.Love this item and if i carry on i will buy the rest of the keys from suzuki
Beautifully made, Beautiful sound
September 30, 2016
Wow. Beautifully made and sounding. Smooth. Love the heavier metal comb that gives it "weight." It is a very nice Promaster harp, with a black-enameled brass cover and black coated aluminum comb. It does not really sound like a Hammond organ anymore than the normal Promasters. Note, the similar looking but MUCH more expensive Suzuki Fabulous harps have longer reed-slots like German harps, as do the newer Suzuki Manji and Olive harps. If you're looking at this, check out the Olive also. Either is superb.
Suzuki makes great harmonicas
October 18, 2015
I'm no pro, but this is the best harmonic I've ever owned. My only complaint is that it's a little bit breathy, by that I mean the reeds move under a very low pressure which makes bending for the Blues a little bit harder than expected. All in all, though, for the price hard to beat.
Great harp!
June 21, 2015
Very tight and a solid build. I can feel the quality over my Marine Band. I'm still getting used to its brighter sound, however. This is due to the metal comb, as opposed to the traditional wood. Also the high notes are a breeze compared to the MB...get it? A breeze? Nevermind. A great harp!
Wonderful!!--Would Recommend for Someone Learning the Harmonica
May 21, 2015
I am just learning the harmonica, and I have done considerable research on the Internet and by reading books on what type of instrument to buy and what key. Most sources seem to recommend the key of C, and a good quality harmonica--at least $30 or so. So I decided on this Suzuki based on several reasons--it is in the key of C, Suzuki is among the handful of companies in the world making high quality harps, and this particular model--the Promaster Hammond--has received great reviews both here on Amazon and by other reviewers on the Internet. So far, I have found it to be an excellent choice! The tone is quite beautiful--as other reviewers here have noted, and it seems solidly made and beautifully finished. It has some weight to it, so it just feels good to hold. So, if you are interested in this harmonica but "on the fence" I really think you be very pleased if you go ahead and buy it!
amazing harmonica
December 29, 2012
I am not an expert harmonica player, but do have 8 of various makes and keys. This Suzuki Promaster Hammond (C) is one beautiful instrument. It is finely made, hefty, easy to play and convinced me that my Hoeners (and one Oskar) aren't the only harmonicas. I ordered another Suzuki (G). If you are only going to have one harmonica, I strongly suggest this one (Hammond).

Great book for harmonica beginners and to refresh reading tabs for all music
November 8, 2017
Beginning musicians need lots of books & videos to shorten the learning curve & practice time for any instrument - This book is a winner for the harmonica - well worth adding to your collection - you'll be playing a simple song after an hour of practicing from this book. Use the CD to get a feel of the rhythm and learn the basics. A few sips (not too much!) of wine (or any beverage) to relax a bit and keep your lips moist and you will be surprised at the music you can make in such a short time with this book. If you have grandchildren (I have two) they make a great audience for a short time. The older we are, the longer it takes to learn music, this book helps to get you playing faster.
Thanks for a great Product!

Harder to play than HohnerBut, nice sound
Suzuki Hammond - Warm, responsive quality machine.
March 17, 2016
Perhaps a smoother more refined sound than the Manjis I have, this solid beautifully constructed instrument met my expectations although if anyone believes it will genuinely sound like a real Hammond organ they will be disappointed. All the Suzuki's I have purchased lately are high quality instruments. Don't go too cheap, you get what you pay for.
Black cover peels of easily :(
November 10, 2015
I used S20 for a while and bought this recently. I am amazed with sound quality and shape/color. But, black painting peeled off after <1 month use. I would give 5 star if this was not an issue.

Harder to produce tone than a Hohner Marine band but that's not necessarily bad. The reeds are clear and distinct. Nice solid feel to this harp.

Can be better. Upset because is expensive!
Seller was great. Harp is very well made and looks good ...
December 7, 2014
Seller was great. Harp is very well made and looks good but a little thin in the voice for me. Sedel Blues Favorite much better. Lee Oskar better sounding too.
Play this harmonica and instantly become irrestable to the ladies.
November 30, 2014
OK, real review. I think this is a very well made instrument. Excellent quality. I just prefer the tone of a Hohner Blues Band or a Lee Oskar. I still mess around with this one, but the tine is a little too "bright" for me to get a blues sound. Almost sound like a Marine Band in my opinion.
Although it's good..

All is good except for the lowest reed which doesn't work properly.
great at first, but not for long.
February 19, 2014
The harp came at a reasonable price, and it arrived in a very timely manner. It sounded great at first, but after about a week of playing maybe 15 minutes per day, the note has dropped on the 2 and 3 holes, which I think means that the reeds are cracked. I was very excited about my purchase but now im disappointed that it couldn't withstand regular play. I dont have the skill or knowledge to replace the reeds, and im not sure what kind to purchase for this harmonica. I figured I wouldn't have to worry about it until a few months down the road.

Nice sound but nothing like an organ
July 30, 2016
Nice sound but nothing like an organ. It also irritates. I played for 5 mins and had to put it down. The inside of my upper lip feels shredded. I have been playing for years and never had that problem with my Lee Oskars or Meisterclass 580 (Hohner). I have cheaper Suzuki harps and it seems to be a Suziki thing. Anybody else ever notice this?
disappointed Greatly
July 25, 2016
Harmonica did not sound like a Hammond organ at all. I will not recommend at all.
just breaking it in

Disappointment!
February 4, 2017
I am very disappointed in this book. A waste of money. The songs are strange and very few that I would expect to be able to play from a beginners book. Don't waste your money. I'm gonna look for better deals out there for a book that has many harmonica songs at the beginning level.
No float for my boat.
April 30, 2016
The book is very short. The CD won't play. The 15 pages of written instructions are clear and simple, but rigid ("hold your harmonica as shown in your left hand"). Several songs besides. Good for absolute beginners maybe - I'm returning after decades of not playing - needed tips on making the seal and moving on the harp with false teeth and slow hands - nada.
The book looks fine enough, but the cd is missing
August 5, 2015
The book looks fine enough, but the cd is missing. Would have been nice to know this since the talk about the cd in the description. It would have been nice to have the option of whether or not I wanted the cd. If you are going to advertise it with a cd it should have the cd! So annoying!

Poor responding 2 hole.
May 3, 2016
Hole 2, draw, G cord didn't produce the right sound out of the box. It was hard to draw in to produce a sound. And when it did it was dead. Clearly not right. All the others played with ease and sounded great. Very disappointing. I liked everything else about it. But it's no good if it doesn't respond properly. Sending it back.
No Harmonica

Incomplete shipment.

The lesson format is "listen, then play." I received the book but not the CD. Looks like you could learn fairly quickly, providing you had both of the required materials. Very disappointed!
Wrong handbook.
May 3, 2017
I bought a chromatic harmonica and Amazon advised me to but this book. Now I can see the book is for diatonic harmonica. Be careful.
CD is blank!
August 12, 2016
CD is blank, book info looks good, but will probably have to send both back. Disappointed!.
All screwed up.
March 1, 2016
It may have been personalized but it was personalized by an inscription that read something like "personalized stainless steel Hohner" and was thereby made useless for me.
