I just saw the Hohner "Blues Bender" advertisement on the start page. What ist that, probably a Special 20 with Bluesharp like cover plates?
Anyone knows that harp?

i have a couple there not bad if you want a harp that sounds good with chords its (just tuned) im pretty sure cause it does play chords good,but it doesnt have replaceable reeds and for about the same money you can get a big river that does,Its a allright starter harp if you aint got a lot of money or a lot of choices,but i probelly wont get any more after they go,theres just better harps in that price range

more like a "Blues Band" not a very good harp at all.

Haha! I sit here with a BluesBand F in my hand, the full set on the desk in front of me! Got them as a birthday present last year, which was pretty sweet of my girlfriend. My first harmonicas - and I thought they would all be that hard to play! Am trying to play along with some SBWII here and its proving nigh on impossible, some of the holes just won't sound, this really ain't easy on the throat!

Am now the happy owner of a Blues Harp in C and a Marine Band in Eb - the latter a christmas present from my other half. Ah the joys of having a supportive, if initially, a little misguided, spouse :)

i never had a blues band ,but my blues benders plays real easy allmost to easy doesnt leak and bends like crazy,and is very just tuned with the chords,my only complant is there throw away harps where at least you can replace the big river plates,and for about 5$ dollars more it will step you up to a lot of better choices but mine are good just not great.

I've got a few BluesBands that sound pretty good. I've got some that really sound awful.
