Chromatic Harmonica Key of C,10 Holes 40 Tones Professional Mouth Organ with Slide for Beginners Adults, Professionals and Students by East top as a gift

High quality harp for the price.

My 80yr old mom loved it and played it for the family reunion in duet w her 84 yr old sister, who also plays. Sounded great!

Full and half notes really like the slide bar. It’s a high quality instrument highly recommended if you play a lot.

Good tone, wonderful gift.

great gift. My wife loves it.

I decided to purchase this harmonica over other reasonably priced chromatic harmonicas, because of the rounded mouthpiece. I find it's the most ergonomically comfortable to play, and very few manufacturers offer it. That's why I gave it a 5-star, even though there were a couple of minor issues. The most significant minor issue is that the included diagram of which notes respond to which holes is off. The 10-note chromatic starts with a C and not with the G as in the diagram. The top notes are also off from the diagram . I recommend that anyone wanting to play harmonica, and most other instruments for that matter, invest in a cheap tuner, which usually comes with a metronome, another important device, for about $20. An even less expensive option could be a free app for your computer that does the same things. It's not just this diagram, other sources, such as my harmonica books, are incorrect on the 10-hole chromatic harmonica. The 12-hole is considered the standard, which of course can be more expensive. Other than that, this harmonica has good tone and compares well with my more expensive chromatics. Another minor point, the case is rather flimsy, but you don't play the case.

Found an old Koch chromatic harmonica in a drawer the other day which has [at least two] failed reeds. Decided to go online and see if I could get a modestly priced replacement. I'm not proficient by any means but this East top T10-40 seems to be a quality instrument which should keep me attempting, at least, to improve. All of the reeds are working as is the slide. Looking forward to many hours of enjoyment.

Very pleased. Every note plays cleanly and in tune. The slide is smooth and quiet. The large resonance chamber allows a good time. Comfortable. A note to new players. Give this harmonica, or any chromatic harmonica, a few minutes of gentle playing before deciding there is a bad reed. For some reason, chromatic reeds tend to bind to the reed plate. Hard blowing may not solve the problem and may screw up the reed. If gentle playing doesn't free up every reed, send the instrument back. Mine had one bound reed which freed up after a second of blowing. Only 3 stars for beginners because beginners are better off starting with a diatonic harmonica. Simpler to play, so better for learning.

Good looking harmonica, for the price. A two octave harmonica for less than £37. Wow. Sounds good when played. I have been playing the harmonica since I was 4 which is 72 years ago. I have recently restarted playing music after a break of a few years. I dot read music, just play by ear and practice. Great fun

Suono l'armonica da oltre due anni ma nn sono un professionista. Già posseggo altre armoniche diatoniche e cromatiche di marche "blasonate". Per curiosità ho voluto acquistare questa armonica cromatica a 10 fori "East top": beh devo dire che mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso! Il mio giudizio -allo stato- è relativo: la suono da 4 giorni ed onestamente sembra un ottima armonica. Il suono, in tutti i fori, è deciso e fluido, l'impugnatura è confortevole, si presenta robusta ed elegante. Il boccaglio è veramente comodo e permette il passaggio veloce dalle note basse a quelle più alte. La custodia è elegante ma le dimensioni non sono proprio ridotte. Sarebbe stato veramente utile aggiungere una custodia da trasporto per poterla portare al seguito. Non posso ancora esprimere alcun giudizio per quanto riguarda la resistenza ad usura. Rapporto qualità/prezzo adeguato. Spedizione/consegna veloce. 17.08.2022 AGGIORNAMENTO: a distanza di un mese, dopo averla suonata quasi giornalmente, rilevo che il bottone modulatore -pur mantenendo una buona elasticità- è diventato rumoroso nei movimenti e si sente il colpo metallico di battuta al rientro. Questo rumore/stridio onestamente mentre si suona dà proprio fastidio! E' necessario che l'azienda trovi una soluzione adeguata che silenzi il movimento del bottone modulatore durante il suo utilizzo.

Good instrument, good quality

Très bon armonica pour concilier chromatique et diatonique,je pense que c'est bien d'avoir les 2 on peut comparer les sons et aller de l'un a l'autre et vu le prix de cet instrument,je recommande cet article

Just to clarify: this is review about the Easttop T1040 chromatic harmonica. I needed a chromatic harmonica to play Tango music, and this appeared to fit the bill. As soon as I unpacked it, I could play it with no warming up of the reeds. Low notes are resonant and easy to play. The harmonica has a warm rich sound and the rounded mouthpiece makes it easy to move from low notes to high notes. I would recommend this harmonica to anyone wishing to move from diatonic to chromatic harmonica or for serious players. It is not concert standard, but for the money it is exceptional.
