Lee Oskar Major Diatonic F

Got a few of these harmonicas now and although they can be relatively pricey they play and sound fantastic. The tone is clear, sweet and true. They sound great whether you are a blues player, rock n roller or a pop/rock player. When I first started using them my brother asked me if I had been taking lessons, I hadn't, they just sound better than most of the other harmonicas I had been playing. They are also really well made, I believe that all the parts are replaceable and for the money you won't get a better sounding or playing harp.

Really like the open and airy sound , easy bending and trills if they last out then I think I will go Lee Oscar in future as my Hohner A has gone dull quite soon after use.

I have a few of these harps now and am really pleased with the sound and build quality. I started buying them a few years ago after learning Norton Buffalo uses them even though an old harp player I knew scoffed at the plastic reed plates (he swore by Hohners). But they sound great. I like this particular key for the "high and lonesome" sound it makes. It reminds me a lot of Jimmy Reed although I'm not sure he played a lot in the key of C (F diatonic=C blues).

I had my first Lee Oskar maybe thirty years ago (major diatonic in D) and it's still going strong. They are great sounding and responsive and loud! This one is no exception and it is hard to get better for this price.

Lee Oskar harmonicas are reliably good, I am gradually replacing all my old harps with Lee Oskar ones.
