Article by Yogesh Prasad.

Hello Friends,

In this article I will share my experience that i had with Low Priced Diatonic harmonicas that are available in Indian market.

The Price Range

Diatonic Harmonica price range starts from Rs 350 and can go upto Rs 4500 for a standard Instrument.

some of these harps under Rs 1500 are really disappointing for quality reasons.

Tonal Quality

With low priced harmonicas you will realize very soon that the Tonal quality is not so good and some times many reeds would not play or may not be tuned to correct Frequencies.

and you would complain that some hole do not blow or draw.

Ease of playing

With low priced harmonicas you may get exhausted very soon as it will require high amount of breath for reeds to respond.

they may not be air tight most of the time.

Quality

It goes by the Proverb.

you throw peanuts you get Monkey's.

• Cheap ones may be leaky.
• They may not blow draw/Respond in some holes of higher and lower octaves most of the time.
• They may not be air tight.
• Reeds may break while playing
• Poor Sound quality.
• Draw bends,blow bends and other techniques may not give desired results.
