This is the third type I have purchased so far, the other two being the Hohner Special 20's and Lee Oskar Major Diatonic. As far as quality, warmth, looks, and appeal, this harmonica beats them all hands down in every category! My favorite thing about this harmonica is the classic wooden comb, giving it a much more rich, folky, Bob Dylan-esque tone (which is what I was going for). I find bending and overblowing much easier on this harmonica as well although that is not what I bought this harmonica for.
There is a reason that this is the most storied and popular harmonica of all time. It truly has made me a believer. As for some future purchases to look into, if this is indeed the type of harmonica you are looking for, check out the new line of wooden combed harmonicas made by Suzuki, the Fire Breath and Pure Harp. I have a Fire Breath on its way and can't wait to compare the two!
All in all, this purchase taught me that the wooden comb might be what I was looking for to get that warm, thick, rich tone (as opposed to a metal or plastic cob which will give you a more bluesy, sharp tone). If you are just starting out like I am, go out and purchase different harmonica makes and models when you need a new key. It lets you see what's out there in finding the sound that most appeals to you and the process is so much fun! It's like opening a new pack of baseball cards every time!
I hope this review helped! I wish you all success with your harp playing!
