Harmo Polar Harmonica

The holes are not numbered, I\'ve never seen that on a harp before, plays as well as,if not better than my (2) Hohners.

I consider myself to be an intermediate beginner,so I am not an expert (on any subject.) That being said ,here's my review on the Harmo Polar. The holes are not numbered ( first time I've seen this on a harmonica) so I wouldn't recommend it to a brand new beginner. The upper and lower plates are not metallic so it won't work with a neck holder that uses a magnet(like Farmers sells.) The white color takes a bit of getting use to. I own a a Hohner Blues Harp and a Rocket. I would say it plays as well as,if not slightly better than those two. I do not regret my purchase. Harmoica Land shipped it super fast which I appreciated.

Sounds great. Easy bends and loud. My first plastic comb & case I was a little concerned about the sound but that seems to be a non issue. In the past I had a couple Hohners where the comb swelled and warped. Rode hard and put away wet. Shouldn\'t be as much of an issue with this (I hope!)

For the money, this is an excellent harp. Pretty Tight and Good tone.

perfectly serviceable harmonica. Good tone, easy to play.

Sounds great and play easy. Top quality harp for a very reasonable cost, I'm wondering why I paid more for other models ...

Loving the polar. This is my first harmonica. Its awesome.

Nice design + Sound is rich and full. Great price quality harmonica!

Hi,
I really like this harmonica, great feel, finish . It is my first Harmo!
I made an error in ordering it ,however, as I should have ordered the lower octave F#.

I\'m really kicking myself, because had a very helpful online chat with one of your reps months ago, who made the recommendation to get the lower octave. But when it came to ordering it, I forgot the conversation. Oh well, I\'ll just have to order another Harmo.- John

My first Harmo, nice sound and tone. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll be checking out more

Very nice harp. I feel it’s comparable to a special 20.

I like this model best out of 3 (special 20, Lee Oskar). It has a very good weight and feels smooth. reeds respond better than Hohners

THis harmonica has been a very nice discovery I'm used to Hohner and they are a bit more comfortable to play but mostly the reeds seems more powerful and easier to bend!

Great service and price from Harmonica Land. I really love these Harmo Polar diatonic harps! I am a beginner who sings in a cover band and plays harmonica on a few songs, and making a commitment to learn the instrument further, so I wanted to upgrade from a cheap 12-harp set I bought from Germany. I have several Fender Deluxe Blues, Hohner Golden Melody, and even recently tried the Lee Oskar. In my beginner\'s opinion, the Harmo Polars blow them away. Great full, loud sound and very easy to bend and express with them. It appears the holes are bigger, which also helps me isolate the single notes. So far I have the Polars in C and A, getting more soon. I do feel like the Fenders are a good cheap backup for spares. I have not tried the Hohner Special 20\'s....wanted too but really impressed with the Harmo Polars, and don\'t think I can improve upon them. Love my new harps and great price from Harmonicaland! ..Glenn F.

I finally got around to actually playing the HARMO POLAR HARMONICA - KEY : G that I purchased on a whim a few months ago. I have been playing Lee Oskars for the last 35 years. Recently, I am working on a couple of Mark Ford tunes which require quick response and blow and draw 'bendablility'. So I broke out the Polar and have been very pleased. It's tight, fast, got great tone, and the overblow is awesome.

Best harmonica I've tried so far

It's my 1st harmonica and I love it !

I love the feel of it on my lips!

Good harp and feels good. Great price!

So far so good. I haven't had it long enough to know how it will hold up.

I bought a Bluesband harp out of curiosity to try it and see how I would like playing. It did it?s job but for a beginner it made you work for it. Tough on the mouth, difficult to get a good tone out of notes not knowing what they should really sound like being new to playing. I read about Harmo harps and ordered the Polar to give it a shot. What difference! With the smooth finish and tapered corners it?s easy to play/practice for hours if needed and even though new to this, hit good clean notes and hear your own progress. It builds confidence and makes you want to learn how to do more with your instrument.?

I apologize for the late reply. Thank you for this harmonica. I?m just a novice and this harmo polar is the second harmonica that I purchased from you. The first was a Christmas present to myself - a hohner crossover. As a beginner, I don?t have experience to know the differences but before I received the harmo, I was a little turned off by the crossover because sometimes I had problems blowing or drawing, especially in holes 1-3. I wasn?t sure if I wanted to purchase another harmonica but after a few months, the sting of my first investment wore off and so I thought to get another but this time something that would be a little easier on the budget. It turned out that the harmo was a great purchase. It was a little more responsive compared to my crossover and something that I can practice with on my journey to become a harmonica player.

The Harmo polar does not have numbers on it making hard for an 84-year-old beginner. The covers are very smooth and the sound is loud! I'm enjoying the harp.

I have numerous brands of harmonicas, but the Harmo Polars are the ones I use most often. Easy to blow and draw the low and high numbers. 1-2-3 & 8-9-10)

These polar harmonicas are my favorite. If you're into Blues you know how hard the 1, 2 & 3 - 8-9-10 notes are to blow individually, especially by someone who is not an experienced player. I've found the Polars (any key) are the easiest for me to play.

Bonne prise en main . Son clair et puissant . Joli capot .

best buy for tone and quality

Fantastic build quality with perfect sound. I love this harmonica! Customer service is the best!!!

Super look Super son Super prix !

Super look Super son Super prix !

I have now purchased two Harmo Polar harmonicas in keys C & A. I find both harmonicas to be very comfortable and responsive. However, the paint on both harmonicas comes off on your hands while playing. Stop painting the harmonica if it will come off. Some buyers won't give you a second chance.

Quick receipt of a great instrument. Thank you

The Polar harmonica harmonica is very comfortable with very good tone. It is airtight and easy to blow and bend.

Never heard of this brand and decided to give it a shot. I love it. Two songs that I battle solos with our fiddle player. I totally going to get more keys and try the other one they sell.

Great for Blues, better than my Lee Oskars and Special 20s at the same price, 2 thumbs up!

Loud and clear. Use it for my acoustic duo all the time, sounds pure and is easy to bend + everybody asks me what it is.

Bought it for the look, those white covers are really cool ! I was surprised how loud this harmonica is beats my Hohners and is super easy to play.

I like these harmonicas. They were in tune when I got them. It's my habit to take them apart, run a very thin metal blade along each side of each reed and then reassemble the harmonicas, being sure to tighten every screw. In some cases, I replace cheap screws with better ones from a stock of same I keep handy. With the Harmo-Polars, I was so reassured by the trueness of the reeds during visual inspection that I did not fully disassemble. Instead, I just checked the plate screws and found them to all already be tight. The cover screws got an extra quarter turn each, but these really could have been played right out of the box. They are excellent for solo harmonica/vocal work, both because the phosphor reeds ring out for just long enough to keep the music going until I start singing. In ensemble playing, I find that they help with my solos, because the instruments are heavy and responsive and talk back to the player the way all really good instruments do, givin

This is the easiest harmonica to play I have owned. The low notes have always been challenging but not with this one. I can get a clear blow-draw on 1,2,3 and 8,9,10. Overall pure tones, and an easy blow. I have fourteen harmonica's, but none of them are as easy as this Polar.
