Anyway, I guess it\u2019s a matter of personal taste (Golden Melody vs Marine Band).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s move to playing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What a slap !<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to playability, this one goes way farer than any other harp I\u2019ve played before.<\/p>\n<p>Everything goes sweet, response is very consistent all along the harp range. Overblows and bends can easily be shaped (sound and attack).<\/p>\n<p>These features make this harmonica perfect for fine chromatic playing. It makes complex\u00a0melodies much easier to be played than on a standard harmonica.<\/p>\n<p>The mix of its design and Raymond\u2019s expertise in harp making produced an excellent instrument. Sebastien\u2019s fine tuning will get you over the moon !<\/p>\n<p>According to me, this harp is clearly the most impressive harmonica\u00a0for chromatic playing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-140\" src=\"http:\/\/www.planetharmonica.com\/NextGen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5d3_2422-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"5d3_2422\" width=\"534\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.planetharmonica.com\/NextGen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5d3_2422-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.planetharmonica.com\/NextGen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5d3_2422-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.planetharmonica.com\/NextGen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5d3_2422.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Playability<\/b>: 5\/5<\/p>\n<p><b>Materials quality<\/b>: 5\/5<\/p>\n<p><b>Finish<\/b>: 5\/5<\/p>\n<p><b>Sound<\/b>: 5\/5<\/p>\n<p><b>Price\/quality value\u00a0<\/b>: 5\/5<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>Laurent Vigouroux<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify mb-2\" >A terrific musical instrument !
