 Best Value AroundJan 21, 2010
By Nathan A. Edwards
I purchased this instrument specifically to play the harmonica part for Mary Jane's Last Dance. I am a novice at the mouth harp, but I have listened to our recording and it sounds exactly like I wanted it to. Hohner advertises Old Standby as its Country and Western model and after having played Hohner's Hohner Hot Metal Harmonica, Key of G (their Rock and Roll model) I can see that it is a legitimate classification. Beyond the Old Standby having a little more twang, I have found that it's much easier to bend and that one can achieve a little more volume variance than with the Hot Metal. They are both great instruments for the price, but I have to give my full endorsement to Old Standby if I had to choose between the two.

 OK for the priceNov 10, 2009
By Jeffrey Gallo
This is a fine little harp for playing around and learning or for casual campfire playing. The build is decent for the price, seems well constructed in general, but mine came with a slightly wonky 2 draw. Notes bend alright, but even I as a less than accomplished player feel that there is a severe lack of overall playability. The tone and volume control don't even begin to compare with my Golden Melody, but for the price its quite serviceable for a kick-around, back-pocket instrument.

As good as the Blues Harp and Marine Band!Oct 23, 2009
By Gary Jason
"Batmouse"
I found the "Old Standby" vitually no different than the Blues Harp or the Marine Band at a much lower cost.
It plays well, is well constructed , and the notes bend just fine.
I will likely buy "Old Standby's" when looking for harmonica's from now on.

harmonicaFeb 25, 2011
By Geekboy
this is the old standby by hohner. sounds great.it's alot harder to draw(inhale)the notes than a "C" harmonica.I can tell my lungs are getting better after a month of practicing both a C and this harmonica.shipping was fast--it has a hard plastic case to carry it in.

 I purchased this 8 months ago hardly used it now it's flat!May 01, 2012
By zefe74
I purchased this 8 months ago hardly used it now it's flat! I started using it seriously 3 weeks ago about 3 or 4 times a week for about a half hour and the b note is flat not happy about this although it was not that much it let me down with my music. I never though it would go bad in just a short time.
