Thomann Rookie Blues Harmonica D

I own about 16 harmonicas, both major and minor.
I bought 3 harmonicas in different keys to replace some expensive ones i have and are out of tune. One of them was out of tune since i bought it.
So i thought i give it a try and i am very glad did.
I played the same song with my expensive one and the new one and i could not hear the difference.

I have to say that i play soft solos while playing guitar with my harmonicas, i don't play blues where you blow very hard so i don't know how they will react in this case.

For my needs this harmonicas are great

I wait longer time to get considerable practic experiences from more gigs and after half year I can resume following:
- THESE HARPS ARE DURABLE, BREATHABLE and a GOOD TONE generally 4 all styles as folk - rock - country with following reservations:
- their tone is not brilliant as Hohner (are cca 1/3 D´n´D - darker+dull)
- their breath response is cca 30-50% slow - if dont have a slave compressor - you cannot use 4fast arpeggiatos or fast runs (e.g. country)
- sometimes - if fast work or long play - their tones doesnt sound= blind holes in logical row tones. It concerns more the low-notes.
- you need a more breath to resonate, flutter or bend a tone... but it is not greatly heavier than other production - and they´re better than BLUESBANDS or TOMBstones...
IF TO ADD TO ANY GROUP: theyre fully competitive/comparable to FENDER BlueDeluxe. Fender´s are little brigter tone.
THE HITPARADE top10:
1. HOHNER MARINE, PRO & BLUESHARPS - after the goldrush- the finest
Long time nothing
2. HERING HARPS-fantastic,but easy destructable - overbreath the plates.
3. TOMBO, LEE OSKAR and other plastics
4. FENDER and/or 5. ROOKIES - really new star!
Long time nothing..
6. HARLEY BENTON Blues and other chinese lowcost- all above meant problems x2
CONCLUSION: ROOKIE Blues harps are a good option 4 beginners; folkers of no-trouble-style as infamous B.D. and partially 4 experienced mussicians with low-budget, needed a reliable instrument 4 gigs, public low-cost use as roaring pubs, howling volwes, non-payable promoteurs etc... I CAN ONLY RECOMMMEND.
COMMENT - this comparision concerns the low-end models of every above meant producers...
4 something better must ask somebody better fate...

COMMENT 4THOMANN staff: pack of G,A,C,D tunning harps WELLCOME!!

Als Ersatz für eine meiner Hohner-Bluesharps habe ich mir eine ROOKIE-Harp bestellt. Ich habe auch schon Fender-Harps gespielt, die jedoch nicht so eine gute Ansprache wie diejenigen von Hohner hatten. Das machte sich auch beim Bending bemerkbar. Die ROOKIE-Harp kostet nur einen Bruchteil einer Hohner- Bluesharp. Sie hat mich total überrascht: Guter Klang, schnelle Ansprache, leichte Handhabung. Ich überlege mir, ob ich bei diesem Preis nicht gleich einen ganzen Satz bestellen soll.
Super Harp, die ich jedem nur empfehlen kann!
