Major diatonic Harps are produced by several manufacturers using various names such as blues harp, Marine Band, Golden melody, big River, special 20, Pro harp, folk master, star performer, etc. Although the cover plates are stamped with a variety of different names for marketing purposes, All of these harmonicas have the exact same notation layout as the Lee Oskar major diatonic.

1) Quality for value: The $10 fender harmonica sounded terrible and were off pitch. The Honer harmonica had a good sound but when it came to voicing the higher octave (holes 7-10) the voicing of the notes was very difficult with my spotty technique. The Lee Oskar has great sound is is more forgiving. I'm mostly focusing on position and bending right now so being able to voice notes in the higher octave more easily makes practicing songs much less frustrating. Of course, you'll want to be able to play on any harp so keep technique in mind.
2) Price over time: Over time your brass reeds will wear and corrode making them impossible to play. Lee Oskar sells replacement reeds so you don't need to replace the entire harp. Over time this can save money, especially if your trying to start this hobby on a tight budget.
3) Build Quality: Out of the 3 harps i purchase, the Lee Oskar feels more robust. I also love the standard case it comes in it can interlock with other Lee Oskar Harp cases and opens from the top. You can sense the thoughtfulness in the design.
The case is black and plastic, and looks like it was made in the 80's. Not a classy case, but certainly gets the job done. The harmonica I bought used and it came scratched, enough to make it definitely used, but still perfectly functional.
There is another review for this product from a soldier overseas who says the far lower and upper holes have bad reeds. I agree, the 2nd hole draw note hardly played at first (more on that) and the 10th blow note as well. I'm not familiar with any higher quality harmonicas, but as far as this Lee Oskar model, it is perfectly functional if you're willing to sacrifice perfection and a little time getting used to it for a much cheaper price tag.
Very sleek body, nice shine and feels comfortable. The sound is rich and wholesome, and excells at the middle notes. As far as the low notes, 1 blow is perfect, however the draw vibration permeates my entire body, not in an enjoyable way. Not sure if that's normal. The 2 blow note is good, but the 2 draw was impossible for me to get at first, it just came out muted and horribly flat. After some experimentation (which I highly encourage) I found by opening my throat more and letting a larger volume of air through I was able to hit the note, but it still sounds off (could be placebo). The 10th blow is tricky and requires a ton of air flowing through, not sure if that's normal or not, but it makes it very difficult to play it smoothly. After tweaking my technique and style a little, though, each note comes out mostly ideal, especially the middle (4-7) holding a strong, warming tone. Leaves me with a smile every time I play it.
TL;DR: Great value, not perfection but sexy body and fulfilling sound with awesome price tag, especially used. If you're willing to experiment and don't want something more expensive, get it. Thanks NeilYoungFan
Beginners Tip: Play this for yourself, no one else, whether you're alone or not. No one should enjoy it more than you. Don't be afraid to fail and experiment, it makes it fun and makes you better.
