content: I have some diatonics and wanted to try chromatic on what I figured would be a basic 8 hole harmonica. Right out of the box this harp looks and feels really cheap. Every one of my diatonics cost half the price and look like real quality in comparison. On the back of the box is a sticker "made in china" Unfortunately you don't know until you get it and it can't be returned. It may or may not play well. I can't get used to it. the 8 holes are checker board layout (cross tuning?) open & closed holes alternate upper & lower. If I try chromatic again I won't take a chance on Hohner. I'll go with Suzuki where I know what i'm getting.
