I disagree with you. Brendan Power recently switched powerbender harmonica production from M. Kongsheng to Easttop and I bought five Eastop harps. I am disappointed with the quality, because Kongsheng harmonicas were really good quality. In those the reed plates are embedded in the plastic body like in Lee Oskar and Hohner Special 20 harmonicas so the reed plate don’t touch the lips. In Eastop harmonicas, the reed plates are on the body like in Seydel and Suzuki, but the finishing of the Eastop harmonicas is far from good and in my opinion - very bad. The reed plates are sharp, the corners are poorly rounded. They really scratched the lips when playing the lowest or highest holes. Also the cover plates don’t match very well and air tightness is “comme si comme ca”. EastTop is not really a good “out of box” harmonica, mara

Buy Suzuki.
Oh hell, you knew I was gonna say that at some point . . .
Having said that, the Lucky 13 harps that Bren is marketing seem pretty finished, if not indestructible.
Watch those low notes, blues stranglers . . .
