4Decent for the Money  Dec 07, 2006 By Carter J. Castor
These harps have a nice, bluesy sound. They are definitely the best harps in their price range, way ahead of comparably priced Asian harps, but I find them much harder to bend than both my Special 20's and Lee Oskars. If you have a very good solid bend or play mostly in straight harp, you might consider it. On the other hand, if you are just learning to bend, definitely spend the extra money for a Special 20. You'll thank me for the hours of frustration you'll miss out on.

5Awsome Price, Awesome Value  Feb 14, 2007 By DTM
This was my first harmonica and it still is working great. It is a very low price for such a great sound, and, it is made by Hohner in Germany, not in China. Yes, bending the notes can be hard sometimes, but once you get the hang of it you can do it on almost any harmonica. Overall, really good. I recomend it fully.

5The BEST sounding harmonica for the money  Oct 03, 2007 By Gerard J. Remillard "Dr."
I own mostly Lee Oscar Harmonicas (only because that is what my local music store carries). But the Hohner Big River Harmonica is the BEST sounding harmonica your money can buy. Hohner knows how to make a nice sounding, quality harmonicas. They have been making harmonicas OVER 180 years. This is a cheap harmonica that plays well.

I tested a Lee Oscar and a Big River Harmonica with a harmonica blower at Elderly's Music and both sounded great and sounded very similar. I couldn't tell the difference between them. Both Lee Oscar and Hohner Big River harmonicas use replaceable reed plates which save you money.

Lee Oscar Harmonicas are also great sounding harmonicas but it is the most expensive harmonica on the market. Many famous harmonica players use the Hohner Big River Harmonica. What does that tell you? The Big River is a great playing harmonica at a low price. What more could you ask for?

3Not a Good Harmonica for Beginners  Jul 08, 2010 By Ann M Armstrong
This is not a bad harmonica, however, I bought this harmonica as a beginner and did not find out until yesterday why I was having so much trouble hitting single notes. The comb of your normal harmonica sticks out from the rest of the harmonica. This harmonica's comb is pushed farther inward instead of outward. It may not seem like it means much, but when I bought another harmonica whose comb stuck outward, I hit all single notes. Some advice to beginners looking to purchase a harmonica: Buy the Hohner Special 20.

5Great Sounding Harmonica  Aug 31, 2010 By Zilbanne "Zilbanne"
The Big River has great sound. A few days ago I was bending blues loudly, while walking on an Oregon beach. The sound really carries. I've been playing Hohner blues harps for quite awhile and finally worked around to my first big river and I'm sold! Truly I cannot say if new benders would have a problem with them because I've been bending for years and so can't tell. My impression is that big river is a very durable harmonica and fantastic for the price. So I plan to buy more.
