Anyone ever try the East Top Blues Standard?

I was looking to replace my old Blues Harp hohner as the reeds we’re getting worn out and starting to sound a bit off but the price on the 3 set pro pack is a little crazy now so went searching for some cheaper options and found east top was also selling a C A G pack of a wood comb version of one of their harmonicas.

For a cheap it’s a pretty decent looking marine band knockoff, not expecting same sound but still hoping it’s decent enough to get by until better times :yen_banknote:

East Top makes great stuff. My guess is it’s a good harp, but I’ve never played one.

I have played Suzuki Promasters, Hohner SP20s, Kongshen Mars and a couple of Seydel 1847s which I didn’t really care for (Blasphemy!). but I have a full set of EastTop 008K blues harps that are responsive and sound great. They are also very cheap, around $25 US from Rockin Rons.. I have done some minor reed gapping/alignment in the slot on only a few of them, for the most part they are pretty good out of the box. Been playing them about a year, maybe they will wear out but at the price, I can afford it.
