## Description

The Suzuki c-20 olive harmonica has a vivid green olive cover plate, achieved in a special high-tech process without any coloring material for lasting durability and clear tone. Hybrid wood-resin combine the past, all harmonicas had wood combs. They gave a warm tone but wood absorbed moisture from the players" Breath and deformed, reducing airtightness and playing comfort. To solve this problem, Suzuki has invented the wood-resin composite body. This material is composed of over 50% wood fibers encased in impermeable resin, which allows the player to enjoy the tone of a traditional wooden harmonica without its past problems. First pioneered on the popular manji diatonic, this comb has been widely praised by players. Made in Japan the ease of playing a harmonica is strongly influenced by its airtightness. Suzuki 10 holes harmonicas are extremely airtight due to highly accurate by high-accuracy manufacturing processes and assembly. The olive's tight seal between component parts makes respond quickly to quick phrases, and gives sensitive tone and bending control. In addition, suzuki"s unique welded-reed manufacturing process gives unprecedented accuracy of Reed attachment, The most accurate slot alignment of any manufacturer. This allows the reeds to respond flexibility to all advanced bending and overblowing technique to achieve a dynamic, deep sound. These high-tech achievements come from a Suzuki tradition of continual improvement of manufacturing processes and a never-ending search for new ideas, backed up by the famously high standards of Japanese craftsmanship, forging a pleasing harmony between tradition and innovation. The "made in Japan..

Review: An excellent harmonica. Depending on your preferences, this might be "the one!" - Oooooh yeah baby, you got it...lol. I just received one of these by post today, and I LOVE it! I'm an amateur of about a year now; I've taken some lessons and have learned to belt out some simple songs and riffs, and thought that, "it's time to find my harp of choice so I can lock it within it and get used to it's feel." After trying a few in the Hohner, Lee Oskar, and Seydel line, my search has led me here. Harp choice is a VERY subjective thing (much like a shaving razor for example) but here's my take, based on my preferences (yours may vary, and that's totally cool.) If your tastes run to full-length coverplates that feel smooth in the hand, tightly machined harps with no "plastic" parts per se (more on that in a moment), exposed reedplates that feel perfectly smooth due to quality manufacturing standards, pleasant aesthetics from a visual perspective (including a distinctive metallic green look), a warm and resonant tone with a well tuned "compromised tuning" setup that works well for both single notes AND chords, good bends (not quite as good as a Crossover but this one IS good as well), enjoy a harp that can reasonably loud (this one has guts but not to the level of say, the Rocket) and like the idea of a distinctive comb made from a resin that contains over 50% wood fiber (which gives it the warmth and raspiness of wood but the durability/waterproof/airtight qualities of plastic!) then I have good news...I think you're going to like this! The price point is also very good for a harp of this quality to boot! CAVEAT: the hole spacing is compact (but works fine with a little adjustment), and it has a slim profile in the hand which while appealing aesthetically will require adjustment if you use a lot of hand techniques. I have average size hands and I'm fine with this harp after getting to know this instrument today, but if a big guy with big "bear-paw" hands tried playing this, it might feel like a slippery piece of soap in his hands!
Review: Consistency - The Product is as Described; Not exactly the Best of all Harmonicas, but: Best in Class of Harmonicas; The Reed is a Wood Composite and so It is designed to withstand Climate Changes, while still sounding mostly Natural. It has a ‘Gooey’ Timbre that is really quite fulfilling, because of the Composite Glue; It is literally Wood and Glue, but: It really manages to achieve a Quality Glue Sound that is quite Clear and so It figuratively Gels as well as being literally Gelled. Essentially: It sounds a bit more ‘Greasy’ and ‘Slicked’ in Performance and so It feels like more of a Different Ideal than a Compromise. I definitely recommend this Harp for a C, because: It is Best for Traveling and Reliability, but: I would still go for a Hohner “Crossover Marine Band” that has Bamboo Reeds if You don’t need It to be such a Brutal Instrument for carrying in your Pocket and or just keeping It in the Glovebox. Also: Consider the Rosewood Suzuki “Pure Harp”s if You can afford the Best Overall Quality, but: You will want a Climate Sealed “Pelican” Case to protect Them as You would, with any High Quality Wooden Instrument.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Suzuki OLIVE - One of the BEST Harmonicas ...
*by J***H on September 30, 2016*

Suzuki harps are VERY well made. The Suzuki Fabulous($$), Manji, and Olive have long reed-slots, like German harps, for a "bigger, fatter sound with more aggressive punch" (as one review said), and more stable overblowing. The silver-plated Fabulous came first, has a brass comb, and costs hundreds. Then came the signature model, Manji, named after the president, Manji Suzuki, with a new wood/polymer comb (wood sound without warping and leakage from moisture wicking), plus beautiful, though more traditional (not full length) well-vented stainless steel covers. Then came the Olive, named after Manji's wife, with less-vented full-length covers like the Fabulous/Promasters, but in Stainless Steel heat-treated "green" with a black wood/polymer comb. The Manji is compromised tuning, the Olive is Equal Tuned - though it's close. The tuning and covers mean that the Manji is bright and bluesy (blues and rock, chord-focused) and the Olive is clear and warmer (Jazz, Folk, Pop, melody-focused) - though the biggest difference is in the player - who can use either harp for any of these styles. Unlike the Fabulous/Promaster brass covers, the Manji/Olive steel covers work well with magnetic harp stands. The Manji comes with a nice hard case, but the Olive comes with a classy velour pull-string pouch and artsy-box. I recommend the Hohner 3PHC Holster if you need a protective case, https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0063KSTJ0 (or the zippered single-harp case https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H8AOKO2) - both have belt clip/loop. All around great harps!
