Rating: - Great Harp!
Lee Oskars are the best harmonicas. I have played many types and brands, for 35 years. I have Lee Oskars that I have been playing since the 80's, and they are still going strong, although of course I have had to clean them from time to time. They have the best notes and note bending, and their high notes are tight and clean, unlike any other harp I play.

You won't go wrong with an Oskar.

Rating: - Lee Oskar - the best
I have been playing Diatonic (Blues) harmonica for more than 10 years now - started off with a couple of Hohner as gifts, caught the bug, added more to the collection, then one day needed a Bb harp and my local music shop had only a Lee Oskar. It was more expensive, but necessary, so I took the plunge... and now I have 10 of them (8 different keys, plus backup spares in the keys of A and D (the commonest blues keys) just in case...)
I could not believe the difference, both in tonal quality ... Read More

Rating: - A great choice
This is a great harmonica, and even for a beginner who is learning to bend, I haven't broken it in months. Obviously this is not the "Ferrari" of harmonicas (I've heard that about the new Suzukis) but it is one of the best.

Rating: - They brake easy
I have played this brand of harmonicas for 3 years. AND THEY BRAKE FAST. Some people say it's the SPEACIL 20's that brake fast. BUT!!! What about these.I go through 6-7 of the LEE OSKERS a year. Play a couple hours a day.They have a problem of GOING SILENT ( reeds sticking ), during playing after about 1 month.BUT YOU CAN GET REAL "GRITTY,GRINDING BLUES" on the low # holes. COMPARED with deep sounding on the SPEACIL 20's, which are more MELLOW. BOTH ARE GOOD, but if your harmonicas are lasting longer ... Read More

Rating: - THEY SAY THERE THE BEST.......????????????
I have know idea , how everybody says these last a long time. I've, played them for 2 years ( 1 hour a day ), and you can count on them brakeing in 2 months. That is normal. A band player has to go through these things like crazy. They do sound good for a while, BUT...after a couple of weeks the 5 hole and up....sound very SQUEEKY, High pitch tin sound. It is true SPEACIL 20's sound warmer.Also the BLOW REEDS tend to brake , way more than the in-hale reeds. One thing , I can promise you is this....THE ... Read More
