HohnerM2013BX Rocket Harmonica, Key of C

The Rocket Lives Up to it's name, ROCKET!While $70.00 is a little pricey, it is a top quality and extremely nice playing harp, that is more like a custom harp out of the box.As it plays very Lively, and it plays well on very little breath, it is so active in playing that for someone coming from a Hohner Blues Harp which needs to be played with considerably more breath, you will need to adjust Down, so that you dont abuse your new harp.The comb is Nice and smooth with recessed reed plates like a Special 20, Rockets Hole size is larger.Covers; Back is wide Open, sides are open as well.It is a loud playing harp that requires much less breath to play, than some others do, so adjust accordingly.It is a Very nice playing Instrument, similar to the Crossover, as far as playing goes and sound.Hohner has a winner with the Rocket.I like it!!No dead holes, all reeds play well,The Rocket is a little larger than the Crossover, The Rocket is slightly longer, it is also wider, thicker and the comb is also thicker.The Rocket is a Very Comfortable playing instrument, That has very active Reeds, that i am sure will be a big Hit.The rocket is mustache friendly, when you see the special 20, the Rocket is similar, only the Rockets covers are more closed, and Rounded Very Nicely at the front corners, adding to over all comfort, and Making the Rocket more comfortable than the Special 20 as the special 20 has Sharper Corners and Gaps in the front corners of the covers this is a mustache catcher/lip beater on the Special 20, like i said the Rocket is very comfortable to play, one of the most comfortable i have played.The Rockets Covers, Comb, & Reed Plates, should be what Hohner uses for all their Harp lineup.That being said, i cannot answer to durability, with the Rocket being this active of a harp, I hope it does not have a short life span.In Conclusion;The Rocket, while Not my Favorite, is one fine instrument, that is in the running for second place, First place goes to the Seydel 1847 Noble Steel, Matte chrome finish, it is the clear Winner.

I've bought many harmonicas recently, Golden Melodies, Special 20s, Blues Harps, and Crossovers and I can easily say, the Rocket is by far my favorite harmonica yet. It's so comfortable, so responsive, and so LOUD.The channels are tad wider than a normal diatonic so it's easier to play and wrap your mouth around (I use pucker embouchure so that was nice.) The curved sides and rounded edges make this harmonica so comfortable to hold and play for extended amount of time. Playing this harmonica next to my Special 20 is no contest. The Rocket sounds fuller, louder, and generally more pleasing to the ear, the reeds are easy to bend and you hardly have to give it any air at all for those notes to come ringing out so sweetly. With the lack of reviews I was skeptical spending $80 on this harmonica (I payed for express shipping, I'm impatient.) but after seeing, feeling, and playing this next to my Special 20. I couldn't be more pleased. I would recommend this harp to ANYONE. In my eyes, it's perfect.Beautiful harmonica with a beautiful case: I thought I wouldn't like the new zipper cases but they're actually a lot nicer than the boxes they use on the other harps because the harp has no room to bounce around in your pocket, it also has an elastic band to put on your belt if that's what you're looking for.Amazing Purchase. If you're looking for a harp. Get this one.

He did the research before asking for one. Sound is clear and pretty. Far better than any other musical instrument he probably could have asked for

I am an amatuer and even I could play beautiful tunes with this harp. Do not waste your money on cheaper alternative. Buy something that you will enjoy playing

Hello Amazonians, I thought I had posted a Review for my Honer Rocket harp in they key of C. I written several in a day and thought I had included this particular Harp. I am new to Harmonica playing, and my first harp purchase was a couple Honer Blues Benders in C and G. Having never messed around with anything other than a nonprofessional grade harp. I decided to purchase the Rocket when my C bender lost its reed on hole five draw.I placed my order and waited a short time. My Rocket arrived quickly and secure. I took my Rocket out and proceeded to read the instructions on use and care. (The Blues Benders I purchased didn't have the small pamphlet that came with the Rocket) The short story is WoW the Rocket bends well and is very reactive and Loud. I was practicing some drills when driving home and my youngest heard me pulling into the driveway through closed doors. It's been a real treat to play the notes on a Quality harp that hasn't let me down. I recommend highly for beginner to pro it's worth the price!!

Great harmonica

The media could not be loaded.  Es justo lo que pedí,este instrumento prácticamente toca solo,aunque yo solo sea un amateur

The Harmonica is good and its a quality product. It sounds good and is little louder and comfortable to hold compared to Special 20 that I have. No complaint for the product from my side. But the way it was courier packed horrified me. I bought the one that showed Globalhub as a seller and it was delivered via Fedx. Their was nothing for shock protection, no bubble wrap or thermocol..just the original Hohner company pack was placed inside the temper proof plastic bag. By the time the time I received the courier, package was half crushed. Can't say who is responsible...The Vendor or Fedx but I was half convinced that harmonica inside was flattened luckily it was not.. though I'd say it was close because the lower end of the Hohner pack was totally crushed..lucky that Usually Harmonica is placed in the middle...

Bought this in addition to my special 20 which I can not fault. To my ear the rocket however does deliver a louder sharper sound which I like and I also like the zip up pouch it comes in. Both "moothies" are small, lightweight and easy to carry, slip into a pocket no problems. All in all I'm well pleased with my new purchase.
