Suzuki Chromatix Series 12-Hole Harmonica Key Of C

I HAVE OWNED TWO OF THESE HARPS FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS NOW THAT I PLAY IN A BAND MADE UP OF OLDER RETIRED FOLKS LIKE ME. WE PLAY FOR THE RESIDENTS IN 3 NURSING HOMES EACH MONTH. AS FOR THE HARPS, I PLAY HOHNER AND SUZUKI HARPS. THE SUZUKI HAS A GREAT SOUND, ESPECIALLY ON THE LOW END. I WOULD BE HARD PRESSED IF I HAD TO CHOOSE JUST ONE BRAND ,EITHER HOHNER OR SUZUKI TO PLAY,. AS BOTH THE HARPS HAVE THEIR OWN GOOD QUALITIES. THE SUZUKI HAS A MORE BRASSY SOUND, DUE TO HAVING REEDS MADE OF METAL OTHER THAN BRASS. THE HOHNER HAS A SOFTER ,MELLOW TONE WHEN COMPARED TO THE SUZUKI,BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS A BETTER HARP. BOTH HARPS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH STICKING VALVES THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT. I GUESS THIS IS JUST A PROBLEM YOU HAVE WHEN YOU PLAY CHROMATIC HARPS..ALL IN ALL, THE SUZUKI IS A FINE INSTRUMENT, I REALLY ENJOY PLAYING THEM.. YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG IF YOU ADD ONE TO YOUR COLLECTION/
