Anybody know anything about this harmonica.
They go for 10.99 at Kmart.
They come in cool colors.

Haven't seen them, but I am pretty shure that's the same compnay that makes those little kiddie pianos that kids get. My kids have one. If that's any indication of the build quality, run away!

I've seen them advertised but haven't heard anything about them. I wondered if their covers would fit on another harp.

My guess is that they'e basically cheapo stuff made in China, which is already a big negative in my book.

If they are made in China they probably have lead cover plates and maybe smell somewhat like sulphur.

I've got a few made in China harps that are just fine. My first harmonica was a Blessing Tremolo. I also have a couple harmonicas I suspect where made in China that are real pieces of crap. I think a better indicator might be they are selling it at Kmart.

How do you really know where a harp is made anyway????
I suspect a lot are made there and we don't know it.

I bought a 5-dollar Chinese harp for a laugh from a bird sanctuary this Easter. After I gapped it, it was still as leaky as hell - you could see from the way the light shone through that the reed slots were a lot wider than the reeds. And the tuning would have made your ears bleed. I decided to bin it rather than emboss it.
