A great sounding harmonica but it is the most expensive harmonica on the market October 3, 2007
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I own mostly Lee Oscar Harmonicas because that is what my local music store carries. Lee Oscars are great harmonicas. They do have a sweet sound to them and their reeds do last a very long time. They are more expensive than other brands. I do like Lee Oscars but I also like the cheaper Hohner Big River Harmonica.
The Hohner Big River Harmonica is the BEST sounding harmonica your money can buy. Big Rivers are much cheaper than the Lee Oscars. You can buy two Big River harmonicas for the price of one Lee Oscar harmonica. I tested a Lee Oscar and a Hohner Big River Harmonica with a harmonica blower at Elderly's Music and both sounded great and sounded very similar. I couldn't tell the difference between them. Both Lee Oscar and Hohner Big River harmonicas use replaceable reed plates which save you money.
Lee Oscars are the cadillac of harmonicas, in other words the best harmonicas you can buy. Don't get me wrong, I like Lee Oscar Harmonicas and they are great sounding harmonicas but they are also the most expensive harmonicas on the market. They are the best harmonica you can buy but I wish that they were cheaper.
BEST HARPS AT ANY PRICE! August 31, 2007
If you've been playing harp for decades and have tried them all, Hohner, Suzuki, Huang, Koch, etc., then you KNOW how good Lee Oskar's are. Plain and simply the most durable, best sounding harp made. No tinny, thin sounds, no poor construction, these are by far the best of all and LO's are the workhorse instruments of ALL contemporary harp players. Get with it people and the reviewers who diss these harps are just bad, poor players.

Certainly, I have many Hohner harps (Blues Harp, Special 20), and they're fine and dandy, but the four, five Lee Oskars I have are just golden. The tight sound, combined with the light weight, gives these well-machined little monsters an airy, gentle, inviting feel. The lovely li'l object even gives the chord info for both harp positions! Winner!
 Watch your mustache! July 20, 2007
Being a total beginner I can't comment on the musical qualities of this harmonica, but I greatly dislike the fact that the hardware (screw-heads and sheet metal) is designed in such a way that it catches my mustache hairs and pulls them off when I least expect it. Ouch!
It comes with a cheesy plastic box with an advertisement for other harmonicas by the same manufacturer. There are no instructions of any sort for use or care.
The "warranty" covers only out of the box defects. It clearly states that to take advantage of the warranty, the harmonica has to be returned "PREPAID" "IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE" (their capitalization!). Any use seems to violate the terms of warranty! This is the weirdest warranty I ever saw.

Nobody can be disappointed with this instrument. It reeks of quality and the sounds is the best. A loud harp with great construction and fully replaceable parts if you manage to break or wear it down.
