Lee Oskar Harmonica, Major Key of F Sharp

I've been using Oskars almost exclusively for a long time. I find the action is nice and crisp, and I have no trouble bending at all. The holes tend to be a bit larger making single notes easier for me to find. I just replaced a very nice Hohner Marine Band in Dd with another Oskar. It blew a reed and I can't even get to it to fix it. Oskars are very easy to work on, I can almost always free them up!

Love it, sounds 👍🏼 great! Superb quality!

I have no intention of getting into the debate about which harmonica is better: Lee Oskar or Hohner. I have both and they are both great brands. However, I mostly own Lee Oskars because I play a variety of styles. I play mostly straight, folk style harp for church choir, mostly "Old Time-y" Tunes and bluegrass and country for the local Old Time Fiddlers Association, and blues with other musicians. I feel Lee Oskar has a good all around sound. Hohner tends to have more specialty harmonicas, like some that are better for blues and some, like the Golden Melody, that are better for folk. This is great if you mostly play one style of music, but for me, buying separate harps for each style would cost me a fortune. So, Lee Oskar works best for me. But I do own some Hohners that also work well with different styles so it is mostly a matter of preference. Both brands are great.

Good, quality product. To my ear, Oscars are little shrill but they are quality harps with replaceable reed plates which are cheaper to replace than the whole thing. 40 bux for harmonica is crazy to me but all the manufacturers have had to raise thier prices..I use Lee Oskars and Hohner Special 20's.

Pretty nice build quality. I needed this for some G songs that we drop down to Fsharp. Worked great.

This harmonica has everything you would want in a harmonica, including detailed instructions about how to customise it for new tones with different plates (?!?!). I'm a beginner harmonica player, so I'll be watching videos on how to play this thing, but I like the sound so far, and am impressed that it's so well-labelled on the box with the key, which in my case is F# (to match the key my band plays in). For some reason, there are hardly any harmonicas available in the many otherwise well-stocked music shops of the city I live in, Singapore (some don't carry any at all!!), and certainly none in F#!! I was very happy to be able to find this online, and that it delivers to Singapore, which is not always the case.

The best harmonicas I have found for blues and folk. They pitch bend very easily, and are completely re-buildable if necessary... But I have never had to re-build them. I like the plastic comb better than the wooden combs found in most other harmonica brands. It doesn't swell, it's easy to clean, and Lee Oskars are reliable.

I've bought several Lee Oskar harps over the last 5-6 years. Never dissatisfied, sometimes elated. I like the overall quality of the TOMBO-made harps. Pretty good feel, good tone, consistently well made, durable. Always good, easy to play, reliable.
