East top 10 Holes 20 Tones 008K Blues Professional Diatonic Blues Harmonica key of Paddy A, Harmonica for Adults, Professional Player and Students

The quality control is excellent. I bought the Easttop 'Paddy tuned'* harmonicas in A, C, D and G and they are all well matched, showing signs of careful assembly, good quality and in tune. Easttop are obviously aiming to take on Suzuki, Hohner, Tombo et al, with very competitive prices and high production standards. The icing on the cake is that the Paddy tuning really works and, like other reviewers here, I find them easy and pleasant to play. *Paddy Richter tuning is a variant of the standard Richter tuning, it raises the third blow hole a tone which makes it much easier to play Celtic melodies or folk tunes. There are other tunings you could try such as 'melody maker', but Paddy has probably become the most common, both because it was invented and well promoted by Brendan Power and because it is relatively easy to modify most diatonic harmonicas to this tuning. (Brendan Power's videos on how to adjust the reeds and tune a harmonica are well worth viewing).

Its worth the money spent. Though its size is too portable and its price low, it produces lovely and melodious tunes. Amazon is doing a great service. Delivery is prompt and its package is quite appropriate.

I've only been playing the harmonica for a few months. I got a Fender Blues Deluxe for my son for about $12. I'm kind of disappointed in that one. It plays ok ... at best. But, it was ok as a starter. Next I got a Hohner Special 20 for almost $40. Very pleased with it. Plays well, bends well, very responsive. I had been hesitant to try this brand because they are less expensive and, after the luck that I had with the other two, I didn't want a cheap, low quality harmonica. But, I've been very pleased with this one since it came in a few days ago. I like the Paddy tuning a lot (it's nice to have the 6th below the tonic. It seems to open up a lot more possibilities. I expect within the next few years I'll be buying more from this company.

It's a better choice for Paddy Richter harmonica, but still it doesn't produce the Hohner like sound. I don't know why those big brands don't make Paddy Richter harmonica which is more popular for playing simple melodies, I guess there are reasons.

I'm a novice player and with the "Paddy" style tuning, I can play songs without trying to "bend" notes.

Used with gigs. Nice sound miked up
