I'd love to see pics to.
I bought a couple Marine Bands in Florida in March and keep them at my condo there. They are Chinese made and have plastic combs, instead of wood combs and the quality is not there.
But, I do like some Chinese made harps. The Huangs are excellent and originated from the Hohner stable. As well, I have a Hero which has kept tone perfectly for the last 20 years.
My next purchase will be a Hohner Chromatic............someday.
Back in my youth, I did a lot of hiking and always carried a harmonica in my pack. I would take it out when I sat down for a rest and play it. Once when I stayed at a Youth Hostel,there were two other guys who had harmonicas and we ended up having a jam session. Luckily, they all were in the same key.
