Note layout of 10-hole harmonicaMajor 14keys are available in MR-350. Choose keys according to songs played and performance style. |
Tips to choose keysThe 10-hole harmonica basically selects the tone/key according to the song to be played, but sometimes the harmonica with a different tone is selected. How you choose tone is depending on how you play. For example, if you want to play a beautiful melody straight, you should have the same tone as the song (called the 1st position), and if you want to get a cool ad lib with blues or rock, you should get the tone 4 degrees above the song (called the 2nd position). If you choose it, you will get a bluesy atmosphere. |

A little background: I've always grown up in music and at one point in my life had mastered four different instruments; Bb clarinet, Eb bassoon, bass clarinet, and percussion. When I went to college my priorities shifted from music to photography. I outgrew my instruments and did not know what I let go of. Having the harmonica in my life has reminded me that music is something to cherish and to know well. This harmonica is not some $7 toy like the world is made to believe with the toy shop harmonicas; it's a fantastic, extraordinarily made musical instrument. If you doubt yourself even for a second that the promaster is not worth it, think again!
I've included two images comparing the Promaster to the Hohner Bluesband. Look at the quality! The size! They are two different beasts.

But the harmonica is definitely one to keep. Beautiful workmanship and sounds great. It is fun and feels good in the hand. Very happy with the purchase.
One reason I suggest the Hohner Spec 20 to start is due to its sound - it has that somewhat raspy/dirty harmonica sound that brings you to jazz clubs or campfires in the old west. The PM is different - while its tone is sweet, it is also very pure as though lacking overtones. It truly is an instrument designed for singing melody lines.
The 4 star rating is for the semi-soft case that now ships with the harmonica. It's super cheap, has a big "Made in" label prominently stitched inside, the zipper pull is begging to break, and it overall reduces that "real instrument" feel enough to affect my rating. Should you agree with this assessment I suggest picking up a Hohner case (if you don't mind their logo on it) along with a small polishing cloth. Wrap your PM in the cloth and place it in the case. The fit will be perfect, you will have a great place to stash the cloth, and you will feel better overall.

And now, the real reason why I adore this model so much. I tried a few harmonicas before, mostly more expensive and renown brands and models, and found that every single one of them has the reed plate metal that reacts with my mouth. I can feel the taste of the metal and suspect that there is some galvanic electricity produced when those harmonicas are getting wet. Suzuki Promaster, however, has the reed plate made of some silver-like alloy which is similar to Sydel's "German Silver" but feels and tastes in the mouth like nothing. This whole harmonica is taste- and electricity- neutral. Aluminium comb with alloy reed plate and stainless covers do not create any galvanic pairs that would be discharging in my mouth! Genius design and perfect implementation. Those harmonicas are flawless mechanically and play well and easy which helps learning it a true pleasure. I highly recommend this brand and model to start with despite any pro's complaints about it. Suzuki know their business and must be proud of it.
The Promaster cover plate is rounded for a very comfortable feel in the mouth with no sharp edges, and the overall shape is very comfortable in the hands. Again, with no sharp corners.
The sound is clear though not as loud as the Special 20, which can actually be an advantage depending on the environment you are playing! Draw bends are easy and this harmonica can be used to learn bends. Blow bends are also not too difficult on this harmonica.
The Promaster Harmonica is good value for the money. I have absolutely no complaints and would buy another one.
