I started on Marine Band in the 70s but kept blowing out reeds, then switched to Hohner Blues Harp, picked a Pro Harp in Germany, then Tried the Special 20s but still blew out a lot of reeds.

Switched over to Lee Oskar which seemed a little better than the Hohners. Switched out a few reed plates but they never seemed to play as well after swapping reed plates.

Started trying the Suzuki Bluesmasters which seem to outlast the Lee Oskars and Hohners and I like the continuous cover plates especially when tongue blocking. I think they use phosphor bronze reeds.

For a while I was playing the Marine Band 14 Hole Steve Baker Specials (SBS) which I liked because of the extra octave but I still blew out the reeds on them though I think they lasted a little longer the old Hohner 10 holes. 

I started trying chromatic harmonicas. I got a Chrometta 10 which I really dislike because it is so thick and is difficult to play, a Super 64 which is OK but the valves seem to get sticky after playing a few minutes, a Hering 48 which seems to bend a bit more than the H64, and the valves don't stick quite as badly...but they still stick. Not sure how people play those things. 

Thought I would try some new brands recently. Seidel Session Steel Blues, which I haven't had too long, but I thought maybe the stainless steel reeds would last better. It seems OK so far, but it takes getting used to. 

I got a couple of Trochilus Blues harmonicas (C and A) which really open up the possibilities for playing a wide variety of songs also a Trochilus Chrome Tuned which has the limitation of small range. Trochilus can be very loud and I haven't tried playing them at a gig with bullet mic and amp. I'm not sure how well that would work because of their shape.

I got a Easttop 008k Low F which is real cheap but I was unimpressed. 

I got two JDR Assassins recently which seem to play alright but are just a bit too thick to fit in my case well. I'm not sure I've found anything I like better than the Bluesmaster.

Now looking at buying a few others:

Easttop Maxwell Street Blues $39.99

Suzuki Bluesmaster $39.99

Kongsheng Mars $32.99

Bushman Blues Changer $89.99 (G)

Keys:

Paddy D

I like the idea of having an A note on a C scale.



Confessions of a Gusser

Gussing is the term used for when a harmonica player jumps up on the stage and starts playing with the band without being asked or asking in...
