I play LeO’s. I totally agree with what is being said about leakiness and bending problems. LeO’s are not consistent harmonicas, one is quite good, the other total crap or it takes too long to play decently. Now I want to try a Hohner Golden Melody because I am looking for the harmonica with overblowing possibility right out of the box.
Very informative. Just getting into the instrument. Still picking out where to start. Might pass on this one until I have been playing a while. Interchangeable plates sounds attractive since I don’t have a lot of money, but I don’t want to have to learn bending on a 3rd hole that’s going to let me down.
Background music very annoying. Please ! We’d rather hear YOU, clearly.
looking to buy a new harmonica do yourself a favor and get a hohner special 20
Background music and PIP video too made for a pretty distracting audio track 🙂
i saw on musicians friend that lee oskar harmonicas are tuned to 441 hertz, wouldn’t this sound terrible with other musicians who tuned to 440 hertz?

Nothing wrong with the review, but that harp playing in the background is a real pain in the ass. It’s drowning out what’s being said.
i dont realy understand if this one is good for beginners? i mean- this is good for my first one?
