Hohner Super 64X Gold & Black Harmonica Reviews
| 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful  Great in every sense!!, By Nicolas Castaneda (Santiago, Chile) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Hohner Super 64X Gold & Black Harmonica (Electronics) I must say I'm highly impressed with this harp. I started playing the harmonica a year and a couple months ago. And my first harp was the CX12 (wich it's probably the best harp to start, and a great choice to stay with too), so my comments are compared to the harp that I know the best, the CX12.The super64x price in amazon it's the lowest (most other places are around $300 and above), so buy quick if you are considering this harp. About the harp itself it's very airtight, even in the lower octave, wich can't be said with the standard chromonica 64 (haven't tried the super 64 though). The extra octave sounds awsome, specially the first two holes that sound much like a tenor sax. The windsavers haven't reported any problem so far (I've had some problems with the CX12, but had been solved mostly trough improving my technique). The button it's great, doesn't make too much sound when pressed fast (as the Cx12's, wich has to be pressed with more care to prevent the click sound). The...

When researching on the internet, you'll see some complaints that these harps often aren't very airtight right out of the box. Mine was pretty leaky. I applied some silicone between the comb and the slide assembly (found some advice on the internet). It is now remarkably airtight, and a pleasure to play. There are the usual headaches with the windsavers, nothing serious, and actually less troublesome than my other harps. Note that it is often hard to produce a good sound from the second hole (that would be the 6th hole on a 16 hole chromatic like this one) when you're starting out--that's usually not the harp's fault.That said, despite it's bulk, this is my favorite harmonica. I've never heard a nicer sounding harp. Enjoy. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful Hohner Super 64x harmonica, By AstroBob "AstroBob" (S/E Michigan) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hohner Super 64X Gold & Black Harmonica (Electronics) I have had mine for quite a while...about 8 years or more. It has been trouble free and still sweet sounding. The lower octave is really special and gives some nice versatility. Mine is tight and no air leak issues. It is a huge step up from the old Hohner Chromonica (12 hole) and a second hand 12 hole Suprema. I especially like the round holes over the square ones of the other harmonicas. I play mostly classical music and show tunes and it is nice for that. I am not a big time harp player though...I am a professional pipe and electronic organist and accordionist, keyboards and MIDI accordions. One of the most desireable accordions is a Hohner Gola which goes for about $40,000....I equate the 64x as the Hohner Gola equivalent in a harmonica. The harmonica is a side interest...I don't play it professionally...but fun to play.Esthetics are a strong suite. The slide is precise and the gold plating with the black covers is very striking. I was shocked at how much... Read more |
