There is no "BEST" -- There just is! With so many makers/models of harps worldwide, who would choose the best? With no consumer reports-like companies for something that is considered individual and personal by each and every player not general and/or specific enough -- and if there were, who then would decide which harmonica manufacturer is the best? I know which harps I like and are the best for me for what I do; hopefully you will do the same as well. But overall, there is and never will be a definitive "Best" anywhere! Hope this helps!

I started playing the "Bandmaster" model at the age of 12 and after hearing Larry Adler's recording of "Rhapsody In Blue" I started to play the 12 hole "Super Chromonica" at the age of 14. I have never gave up playing and I joined a harmonica group in my home town of Manchester in the UK.by the name of Les Crossley's Harmonica Rascals until I went into the service where I spent the best part of 5 yrs. Upon leaving the service I found it difficult to find a job until I noticed a poster advertizing a show at the local theater which included Morton Fraser's Harmonica Gang. I approached them for an audition and the manager was very impressed with my playing so I finished going on tour with them for 10 yrs. At one time we were guests of "Hohner's visiting their factory and they treated us like kings. I would love to take that visit again in the future. I am now 87 and still entertaining for many senior organizations and retirement homes. As regards my old buddies who played with the group they have unfortunately passed away. I have a DVD of the act from a movie we were in and I often run it on my computor remembering how these guys were happy go lucky in the good old days.
