Excellent value for money
I have been playing Harmonica since the 1970s and have owned a number of different brands over the years. Unable to resist the price, I purchased a few of these Harley Benton harmonicas, in various keys.
Pros: The harmonica comes in a small, plain, plastic case (That’s no longer a given with more expensive harmonicas) and is wrapped in paper.
It seems to be well made, relatively airtight and in (Checked on a tuning app) tune.
I was also able to get semi-tone bends on all of the correct holes, which is nice since, often, it is nearly impossible to do so on cheaper harmonicas.
The sound is OK (for the price it is fantastic!) It may not be as good as harmonicas costing 10 times as much but it is certainly not 10 times worse. Unlike some other cheap harmonicas, this does not sound like a “cheap squeaker”.
Cons: It would have been nice to have gotten a cleaning cloth with the harmonica, but I suppose for the price one really cannot complain.
In conclusion: The Harley Benton harmonica, like many other Harley-Benton instruments from Thomann, is good value for money. If you just want a harmonica to begin learning on, harmonicas in various keys to accompany other instruments, a good low cost harmonica to practice your bending techniques or simply something to practice with, to “save” your more expensive harmonicas, then the Harley Benton is definitely worth a try.

Hi friends! I previously bought, not knowing that it was just the usual harmonics in the store that I needed, but I managed to blow them with great difficulty and the sounds were not very good.
Today, when the harmonica "Harley Benton Blues Harmonica in C-Major" came to me, I immediately began to put out drawings similar to my pentatonic guitar. This is an amazing thing for ridiculous money, I think I will buy other harmonics with other notes from Harley Benton. The sound of fire !!!!!!

The quality of this tool of mine is excellent!
I use this tool in my home studio to record my music and I also just play for fun.
I am very pleased with my harmonica!
The package arrived very quickly and everything is in good quality!
It sounds very comfortable in the hand and my blues strumming became more often thanks to this!
Thank!

Don't buy
It's a bit of hit and miss with Harley Benton products. This one is not a real instrument, its a cheap toy that can't really be played. I bought a Fender Blues Deville after this and that is a harp, this is not. It's cheap but its a paper weight so do yourself a favour and get something else.

An ok harmonica
This harmonica is ok for the price you have to pay for it. I bought it just to try it out and I guess, for the price you pay you can't really complain.
The best thing about this harmonica is obviously the price. You can't really complain about the craftsmanship because of that. Of course there's better ones out there but then you'll probably have to pay the double.
All in all a nice harmonica for this price.

I'm not a professional Harmonica player, but I can fairly say that this piece has a very nice sound and so easy to play.

Sound's like branded one
Having this harmonica for about 4 mo. At that time I bought this in order as companion while i am playing guitar. I might say this harmonica do good job while I am playing guitar, of course I use harmonica stand attached.
The sound we can easily control by the mouth in/exhale and responsive enough.
abouth the quality, i am quite doubt due to the material chosen. But so far, 4mo. still looking good. hope my doubt is wrong.
Overall, for those who are just or want to learn harmonica go grab this!

Great product for a great price!
There are for sure some points on the Harmonica (like sound) that could be better, but considering the price, it is a great product with good sound. It's perfect as a pocket instrument and to pass time as well as when you're starting with music. I would of course recommend it.

Its cheap, and not good
I thinks its good for about a month or two of getting to know an instrument and if you are really in to it, and after that time you will want to purchase a much better instrument to actually start learning.
