Testimonials Golden Melody

All in Golden Melody harmonica seems to have been designed for me custom-built, all is perfect, the sound is warm and generous, an alloy of precision and power, never aggressive...The flexible reeds, the metal cover closed on the plastic box spring, and the perfect size & spacing of holes on box spring give me a perfect freedom of play. The only thing I miss would be an edition of Golden Melody in low tones, to find these same qualities, particularly in Low F, low low F, low C and low D....
Rachelle Plas

I like the Golden Melody because of its flexibility, its roundness , the incomparable softness of its tone : never aggressive, reactive and powerful when it needs to be ! Its shapely curves garantee pleasant playing. We forget its old fashional look when it "sings".
Michael Herblin

I play the Golden Melody because it is comfortable to hold and the Overblows just as the Bendings sound extremely clean. Therefore the Golden Melody fits in very good with my style of playing.
Konstantin Reinfeld

I like the Hohner harmonicas, mostly the Golden Melodies, Marine Bands, CX-12 chromatics, and the new low tuned  Thunderbirds…I really  enjoy and feel the long history, good quality, and something more when I’m playing  Hohner harmonicas…
Matyas Pribojszki

The shape of the full length covers and the curved ends fit in your hands a lot better, it has a nice warm mellow tone, especially on the higher keys. I like the way the cover plates darken the tone, it just has a glassy type of tone, and the stock comb has a nice sound to it.
