Beautiful Instrument - Needs Adjustments After You Buy
It is a really beautiful instrument. The aluminum comb, silver plated cover plate sound is very bright. I love it for graceful melody playing. Here is the problem I encountered - on most holes, the blow bends and draw bends give that ringing "dog-whistle" noise. I fixed the problem by taking off the cover plates and applying little squares/rectangles of vinyl tape to the reeds as needed. Search the web for the basics of this fix. Search under turbotape although you can use a number of other common adhesive tapes. You don't need turbotape. I also gapped the reeds.I am certainly no expert, but I have ruined a couple of harmonicas learning how to gap the reeds to my satisfaction. If you just play the harmonica without stressing the reeds, this model will not require adjustment. If you blow bend and draw bend don't experiment on a fifty dollar harmonica to learn taping and gapping the reeds. If you don't like working with your hands in delicate areas or you are impatient, don't try these adjustments. ... Read more

Not a Toy:First Significant Design Change
Despite its plastic case, this is not a toy harmonica. Everything about it is first rate: the smooth mouthplate, the superb slide, the quality of the reeds. This is the first significant design change in over a century. This harmonica allows the player a wide range of dynamics, from very soft to about the loudest chromatic harmonica you can buy. The mouthplate is oversize, and takes a little getting used to, but it's very player-friendly. The slide has a coil spring, unlike any other design, and appears to be unbreakable, which can be a real headache in a standard chromatic. Being a three-octave instrument, covering the range of a modern flute, it sits well in the hands. By contrast, the four-octave instruments, like Hohner's "The 64", can be unwieldy. Hohner's "Super Chromonica" model 270 is also a three-octave instrument, highly favored by many players, and far less expensive; but it has a wooden comb that can dry out and crack, and is much harder to disassemble and service than the CX-12. Summarizing, this is a serious musical instrument that should give you years of service with minimum fuss.

A different experience in playability
Perhaps the most striking feature of the CX-12 is the playability, with this harp I find it easier to locate holes via tonguing than with any other harp. The ability to quickly disassemble the harp and tease stuck reeds is nice. The sound quality, to my ears, is just about the same as the 270. Another nice aspect of this harp is the finish, made as it is of black plastic, will not tarnish. So, pluses: far easier to disassemble than any other chromatic, keeps its good looks, easier (for me) to tongue accurately. Minuses are the sound isn't much different than a 270, and the price is nearly twice as much.

If you are looking for higher quality sound, you might try a Super 64. ... Read more

Product Description

The new XB-40 Harmonica was designed by Hohner USA's own Rick Epping and offers the player complete bending freedom with 10 holes and 40 reeds. Precision engineered and manufactured under the highest quality standards, the Hohner XB-40's revolutionary design permits a level of expression and note bending capability never before possible on any harmonica. On a regular 10-hole diatonic, or Marine Band type harmonica, the standard blues note bending technique involves an interaction between 2 reeds, one blow and one draw. On this style harmonica, only the higher pitched of the 2 notes from any given reed cell can be bent and then only to a point somewhat above that of the lower-pitched reed. The XB-40 overcomes this limitation by incorporating an additional set of reeds, tuned so that all twenty of the harmonica's notes can be bent using the standard blues harp bending technique. Using a system of patented valve chambers, the auxiliary reeds come into play only during note bending. The XB-40 is tuned so that every note can be bent a whole tone, with an additional semitone bend on the 3-draw to complete the chromatic scale in the first octave. ... Read more

Interesting Prototype But Not Ready For the Showroom
If you like collecting novelties or interesting historical artifacts, this may prove to be one. There are at least new ideas coming forth in the area of harmonica physics and one might become an amazing product. I waited a month before I wrote this because I wanted to be fair to the incredible effort that went into designing this and making it affordable. Sorry, but it is hard to NOT bend notes and thus the sound "pallete" becomes very un-chromatic. It's good for honking but too much honking without contrast is dull. Contrary to what you might believe, Little Walter did more than just honk. He contrasted dirty and pretty sounds with his "Mississippi Saxophone" like a jazz master. My advice: use the money to buy a chromatic harmonica, or, buy Howard Levy's video "New Directions for Harmonica" and get some basics on playing a ten-hole diatonic chromatically by using that "simple" instrument expressively and imaginatively. ...

For more than a century, these double-sided harmonicas have been a player favorite. Two keys are available on each individual instrument. The Echo?s precision tuned reeds create a beautifully blended vibrato tone.The double row of holes on Tremolo Harmonicas creates music with a distinctive vibrating (vibrato) effect. This is produced by the bottom row of holes and the top row of holes being played at the same time and tuned to the same note, with the top row tuned just slightly higher. This special tuning enables the player to make the tremolo sound which is especially popular for ballads, gospel and folk music.   Due to health regulations this item cannot be returned. ...
