I am in the midst of a personal challenge to learn 12 songs before Christmas as a project to help me learn to play as I am switching from trumpet/cornet (read my intro.). My reward will be a new harmonica. I have been thinking of the Suzuki SCX-64 because it has one less part to take apart if I need to clean it. I have shaky hands due to Essential Tremor, so that sounds appealing and the price, $265 CAD on Amazon, is also appealing. However, the other day I realized that the Sirius on Amazon is $393. It is $685 at the music store.

Does this price on Amazon for the Sirius sound right?

Does it have the same mouthpiece setup, one less part, like the SCX?

Are there any other chromatic harmonicas I should be considering for my situation?

Blimey, I don’t care for those sorts of prices at all! It would have to be gold! Then I’d sell it on and get all the keys of a East Top forerunner.

Now the SCX is $363 CAD and the Sirius is $398 CAD. Why is the Sirius so inexpensive? The Sirius SC-64CW (wood covers) is $786 CAD. Interesting!

I like the Sirius. The tone is nice. I think it has the same reed as the Fabulous.

Those prices make my eyes water. My missus would put a price on my head, wanted dead or alive!
