Eastar Admiral 24 Holes Harmonica, Key of C Tremolo Harmonica for Beginners Adults Kids, Performance Competition Mouth Organ with Hard Case and Cloth, Silver

Does what it says on the tin,... and delivered 4-dys early !!!

I am extremely impressed by how responsive this harmonica is to each blow or draw. Good volume is produced with very little effort. My Swan double-sided C/G takes much more breath to create a good, clean note. The tremolo effect is audible even to the high notes. I have recently purchased a Suzuki Hummingmate harmonica in the key of C, a Japanese-made tremolo harmonica that is very highly considered. The Eastar and Suzuki are nearly identical in volume, pitch, tone and playability. I am even more impressed by the Eastar Admiral knowing it is the equal of instruments two to three times more expensive. The fitted case provided by Eastar deserves mention, it is truly deluxe. The case is large, has a nice satin finish and surprisingly, for a modestly priced instrument, has a spring- hinged closure mechanism. Well done! The Eastar Admiral appears to be designed/manufactured by Easttop, the well known harmonica company, which is a very good thing indeed. East Top produces tremolos in most other keys so if you like the sound of this Eastar, consider purchasing other keys from Easttop. One thing to mention is that the harmonica I received differed from that pictured and described in the in the product description: the comb is all black, it does not have the C notes marked in white as is pictured. This could be a detriment to beginners who might rely upon their eyes to locate the key notes. Overall I'm very impressed by this harmonica. I hope Eastar considers adding to the Admiral line with tremolo harmonicas in other keys. I will be first in line to buy.

I had to drop everything and write a review as soon as I recieved this in the mail. Honestly, I don't see how they can offer such a nice tremolo at such a bargain price! It's cost is about 10% of the price of some of the big brand names such as Hohner, Seydel or Suzuki. It's much nicer looking than a Hohner. I had been contemplating the purchase of a Seydel Sailor or Skydiver, (big fan of Seydel) but ran across this at about $20. Hmmm... $20, or $180? At $20, I was rather sceptical as to wether I'd end up with a toy, but what the heck? I gave it a chance. I must say, I am pleasently suprised! The box is much more impressive than what Seydel gives you. The fit and finish is as good or better, although the corners are just a tad sharp. No big deal. I'll just smooth them over with some 400 grit sanding. Just a light touch. I'm super picky about how a harmonica feels in the hands. Many high end harmonicas need this smoothing touch on the corners. Not a concern. As far as the reeds go, they sound good and on spot. Time will tell as far as durability goes. The etching on the covers is very nice and so is the polishing on the covers. The box is much like an oversized glasses case with a satin finish, spring hinge and nice lining. Nice silver print on the lid, but I'm sure it will wear quickly in my coat pocket. I plan on carrying this with me quite often. Best feature is the tuning which runs the major scale without missing, or out of place notes such as the Hohner Golden Melody tremelo has. I'm not sure, but I think this has asian tuning. Anyway, it's much easier to play melodies with this than other tremelos I've experimented with over the years. I mostly play melodies on orchestra or melody tuned harmonicas (no bending needed to catch the missing note), so this is quite nice. Don't get me wrong. Nothing can compare to my Seydel Fanfare, but that's a $300+ harmonica with the optional rounded mouthpiece. Bottom line. This at $20, considering the quality you're getting, is a heck of a bargain. If I can find this in the key of G, I'm definitely purchasing another one for myself, and will be giving them out as gifts. Ah... the gift of music! I just picked it up before finishing my review and after a couple tries, can already play Moon River (Andy Williams). I'm new to this particular style of tremolo in this tuning, so again, very pleased. My Golden Melody with it's weird tuning is going into storage. Definately buy this if you're a melody player. If money is no object, consider a Seydel Fanfare S. This review seems to have been delayed, and before re-submitiing, I'd like to add that I just recieved a $75+ Suzuki Humming High Class SU-21W. It has a compressed wood /resin comb and is very nice, but is a 21 hole tremelo. The Eastar Admiral 24 hole tremelo and the Suzuki SU-21W virtually sound alike, and the build quality also appears to be virtually the same. I'm very happy with either. At less than half the price, the Eastar is the way to go if you're on a budget. If branding is important, and you have money falling out of your pockets, go for the Suzuki. Just make sure it's the new High Class model. The old Suzuki Humming is not as nice as the Eastar Admiral. CHEERS!!!
