I would not recommend buying a used harmonica since half of the notes are played by sucking in air through the reeds. These reeds can contain countless germs. I was told that it is actually illegal for a retail business to sell used harmonicas in many states. That is why you cannot test play them before buying. You need to use a bellow.

If you're squeemish, then a used harmonica is not for you. However, you can google search how to clean your harmonica. I'd recommend a thorough cleaning of any used instrument. There can be other problems with used equipment, so buy new if you can afford it.

I have no idea. The smell and then the taste is something I will never forget. Tried mixing with my morning 'fresh green juice'--Horrid. I threw out the drink and the powder. It smells like a mix of horse hooves..(what I imagine the smell to be) and scum off the aquarium glass. I gasp at the memory.

Compared to a metal harmonica the plastic set is no match. I bought the peidmont blues set to get an ear for each key but after a month or so I ended up buying a set of Hohner Special 20's. The sound of the special 20's is far superior to the peidmont set. The plastic body leaks more air, and the reeds are of lesser quality and are very difficult to use for bending and actual playing. I would tell you to spend more and buy a set of special 20's, but if you want a decent case only then the piedmont set should suffice. Bottom line is you're better off spending more on better quality harmonicas. Or even just spending 10 bucks more on one special 20 and not even buying this piedmont set.Happy Harpin'! - Mark Compared to a metal harmonica the plastic set is no match.

I think you should send it back. First of all, I bought it for $20 less. It is in a tube, not a jar and I returned mine because it made my eyes swell up.

No, sorry. I didn't even like the bottle. Stopped using it after a few days; its so hard to drink from it. More like exercising your lungs :)

I used a microphone with a 1/4in jack. It sounded ok with harmonica. Not sure about singing through it though. Be careful with volume, settings & feedback. You can toast your amp in a heartbeat.

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.com Telephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)

I just noticed nasty bits in the water holding/bottle steaming area. Sending mine back :/ I have been cleaning it as prescribed, it's just too gross! I don't like that I cannot completely clean it out. You can't see down where the water goes.

I recommend neither...Spend s little more money and get a Crossover. When you get the crossover a booklet will be enclosed with the harmonica. The booklet will tell you the only all around harmonica for all types of music is the Crossover. I am giving you advise like I would want someone to give me.

It says in the Product Detail section right above the Product Description section that it is key of C. However, this particular harmonica is sold by My Music Life and fulfilled by Amazon. Suzuki harmonicas are wonderful. I have three of them. However, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR. My harmonica arrived dented and scratched and not in a box. It was loose in a padded envelop. I've purchased many harmonicas and all of them have had their own individual box and were sealed in a plastic sleeve. I contacted Suzuki and was informed that ALL of their harmonicas have boxes and this one is either used or a demo or from a boxed set that was broken up. Since it had so many scratches and a dent, I think it was used or a demo. I returned the product immediately.

When a harmonica leaks air, it not only takes more wind, it is not putting the air where it belongs. It's a mark of poor craftsmanship. If you hear air get a different harmonica.

I used methylated spirit to sterilize mine. My guess is that rubbing alcohol will be just fine.

this is a great machine. I use it, mainly for cleaning my E-Cig stuff, but water and wood isn't a good combination, how ever I don't think it would trash it on a short setting, if you have one that's not important. What the heck. I have an old harp, might have to try in, It would surely need cleaned. Great cleaner simple to use. If it doesn't work for this you will find another use and your money won't be wasted. LOL GBTM

Sorry, Tommy, I *wish* I could play harmonica. But I immediately thought the Oasis GEL might be better for the way you describe your problem. The gel keeps my mouth moist all night long even tho' I'm a mouth breather. The spray gets places like throat, but I don't see it really moisturizing your lips. The gel will stay on your tongue longer and may transfer to your lips better. Hope this helps.

What kind of "things?" Doesn't sound normal to me. Think I would request a new bottle.

It doesn't sound normal. Clear jel is a corn starch, it shouldn't have much of a smell at all.
