Promaster Harmonica Key: C

Let's see, I'm not a newb to music, and certainly no stranger to the blues. I had first gotten a honer piedmont blues pack. It had a few keys, cheap and a case. First off suzukies don't fit in the case, so don't even try. The harps (the few that worked) clunked out quick, and I was browsing forums for advice on a good harp. Suzuki promaster and the blues master are te two that were best for my spending range. Let me say, out of te box this baby wails. Sounds great, all notes played and the bendable ones did so, so easily infact that I had to adjust how I played to keep from bending everything. The weight is solid. Feels like an instrument, not a toy. Metal, sturdy, heavy, rounded, and it just looks freaking cool, really cool, in fact. Buy this and you won't be sorry. My next will be a low f promaster. Legit

I really like this harp. I've been playing Hohner Blues Harp's for 55 years. When I opened this I was impressed immediately. The look, feel, fit and finish, all great. And then I played it!! WOW!! What a difference! very easy to draw and blow. transitioning from one hole to the next is seamless. Not like the Hohner's. They are more like individuals that need each one to be to be started up whereas the Suzuki just flows from one to the next. It's kinda hard to explain but if you try it you will get what I'm saying and you will be hooked. I'm gonna get some more!!

I am a beginner in diatonic harmonica playing and bought a Hohner BluesBand to start off with. From the beginning I knew that the bluesband was very cheap and easy to play, however I did not realize how drastically harmonica quality could improve. This Suzuki Promaster is AMAZING! The build quality is quite simply gorgeous and the sounds it produces are way better than the bluesband. If you're a beginner like myself and are frustrated or feeling hopeless with your current below $25 harmonica, it's definitely worth the investment if you're serious. Investing in your equipment is investing in yourself, and this harmonica proves that. A little background: I've always grown up in music and at one point in my life had mastered four different instruments; Bb clarinet, Eb bassoon, bass clarinet, and percussion. When I went to college my priorities shifted from music to photography. I outgrew my instruments and did not know what I let go of. Having the harmonica in my life has reminded me that music is something to cherish and to know well. This harmonica is not some $7 toy like the world is made to believe with the toy shop harmonicas; it's a fantastic, extraordinarily made musical instrument. If you doubt yourself even for a second that the promaster is not worth it, think again! I've included two images comparing the Promaster to the Hohner Bluesband. Look at the quality! The size! They are two different beasts.

This is a fantastic harmonica it does everything I need it to do it has a very profound sound and I use it on stage in my proformaces

I took up playing as a Covid era hobby. My first harmonica was a Hohner Special 20 and I still consider it to be the best selection when the journey begins. I purchased the PM after having studied for several weeks, to expand my horizons and, wow, I'm glad I did. The sound, build and polish on this harp is outstanding. One reason I suggest the Hohner Spec 20 to start is due to its sound - it has that somewhat raspy/dirty harmonica sound that brings you to jazz clubs or campfires in the old west. The PM is different - while its tone is sweet, it is also very pure as though lacking overtones. It truly is an instrument designed for singing melody lines. The 4 star rating is for the semi-soft case that now ships with the harmonica. It's super cheap, has a big "Made in" label prominently stitched inside, the zipper pull is begging to break, and it overall reduces that "real instrument" feel enough to affect my rating. Should you agree with this assessment I suggest picking up a Hohner case (if you don't mind their logo on it) along with a small polishing cloth. Wrap your PM in the cloth and place it in the case. The fit will be perfect, you will have a great place to stash the cloth, and you will feel better overall.

I have been playing a few years now and sit in with a few bands on some of their gigs. I've played a number of different harps (Special 20, Blues Harp MS, Lee Oskar). I finally grabbed one of these in C a ways back, and of those I've tried, this one is the most comfortable (especially if you have facial hair, no stache-pulling seams in the covers!), has the "best" tone (depending on what you are going for, brighter and less warm tone than for example the wood-comb Blues Harp MS), and just feels very smooth in the mouth and in the hand. It has more heft than the plastic-comb models, but I like that. Did I also mention it bends like a dream? I've carried mine with me everywhere for months now, and I seem to have misplaced it this weekend. I'm not happy to be having to play my "crappy" Special 20 when I have a song in G now. The Special 20 is a fine harp (4 stars IMO), but I'm spoiled by this beauty. Time for a new one if the current one doesn't turn up soon. One day I'm going to treat myself to a case of these.

I am a beginner with harmonica. I am curious on this aluminum comb vs plastic comb design, Hohner special 20. They both sounds great. They are same size. But the promaster hole spacing is wider. This seems to help making single tone easier. There is nothing to complain on this harmonica. May be the zip casing can be improved. The pull ring on the zipper came off easily. But the harmonica is definitely one to keep. Beautiful workmanship and sounds great. It is fun and feels good in the hand. Very happy with the purchase.

Suzuki Promaster harps are among the best harmonicas ever made by far. They're tops for ease of playing, appearance, tone quality, and longevity. Their design is sheer elegance. I am a big fan of valved harmonicas. If you've never tried one, get a Promaster today. All 20 notes are highly bendable giving you the freedom to play tunes that would be difficult or impossible on a standard diatonic harmonica. You don't really need a chromatic harp with on of these sweet babies. As you can tell, Promasters give me something close to a sexual turn on. Also, the prices for them are quite reasonable. Though a little pricier than Lee Oskars or Hohners, they are more than worth the difference and you'll save money in the long run because the reeds last so long.

Suzuki premium quality! Not a real blues harp though but a 10-hole diatonic harmonica for making extremely pure sounding melodies. Very good weight in the hands and smooth on the lips.

Très bon instrument, bien accordé, précis et son agréable. Livré avec un étuis de qualité. Par contre emballage d'expédition minable, une simple enveloppe légèrement cartonnée, ce qui fait que la boite en carton de l'harmonica était écrasée à la livraison (expédition d'Angleterre), heureusement l'étui assez solide à joué son rôle de protection.

This harmonica is SOLID. That means that it does not ring and click and resonate when handled. It feels like a solid piece of jewellery art. I am too new to assess the quality of sound but from what I already can hear, the harmonica produces very clean tone from every hole (even the infamous 2-draw) and provides a very precise and gentle volume control. No unpleasant odd-numbered harmonics in the spectrum, no hiss, no ring tones. I have not tried bending the notes yet but it will come. And now, the real reason why I adore this model so much. I tried a few harmonicas before, mostly more expensive and renown brands and models, and found that every single one of them has the reed plate metal that reacts with my mouth. I can feel the taste of the metal and suspect that there is some galvanic electricity produced when those harmonicas are getting wet. Suzuki Promaster, however, has the reed plate made of some silver-like alloy which is similar to Sydel's "German Silver" but feels and tastes in the mouth like nothing. This whole harmonica is taste- and electricity- neutral. Aluminium comb with alloy reed plate and stainless covers do not create any galvanic pairs that would be discharging in my mouth! Genius design and perfect implementation. Those harmonicas are flawless mechanically and play well and easy which helps learning it a true pleasure. I highly recommend this brand and model to start with despite any pro's complaints about it. Suzuki know their business and must be proud of it.
