EAST TOP 00K8 HARMONICA REVIEW - Best Budget Harmonica?

Рет қаралды 561

Ай бұрын

In this video I do an out of the box review on the East Top 008K the Harp plays great out of the box and all the bends feel smooth. The overblows needed a little work but besides that the harmonica is really good for it's price I would definitely recommend it to a new harmonica player.
Also one thing I forgot to say in this review is key options. They also have almost every key available which is something that other budget harmonicas don't have and that is probably my favorite thing about it.
Thanks to Dirty Pat Walsh for the suggestion as well.
If you have any questions let me know in the comments section I will reply and have a great one!

I love these harps! One of the only cheap options. It’s funny you mentioned you got Eb cuz I’m about to get one of these in Eb and Ab. I don’t have those keys but I don’t wanna buy a hohner in a key that I won’t use much. But what’s great is for the price of one marine band you can pretty much get 2 of these, and they play well enough.

That was my same thought while getting mine. They played very well for their price and really like how it looks as well. Thanks for watching!

I've heard good things about it. Other budget harps that I'd like to try are the JDR gentle monster, and the kongsheng mars

I like the Kongsheng TinG Harp a lot very good one! I like the JDR Assassin too but that one really isn't a budget one.

@@JamesBellowinIV yeah, the assassin is one of their expensive models. They make one called gentle monster that is like 35 usd. It is a typical sandwich style harp like the marine band, but I've only heard good things about it. Though, I guess at that price it is starting to get into tge mid range price point. There's also a cheaper JDR ninja, though. We live in a good tine to be harmonica players. There's tons of options out there

They can bend really well, with some adjusting they overblow just fine. They are really good in my opinion, better than the kongshengs "benders" model in my opinion. If you ever buy more of them i recommend against buying the model with the black cober plates, since its a weid paint and not smooth in the mouth, the blue cover plates are way smoother. Here in Brazil that one costs 1/3 of a marine band, comes in handy to get those halfstep tunings. I use my C easttop as the harmonica i keep in my car so i always have one wherever i go 😂

Thanks for the advice I'll make sure to remember that. And that's the best thing about Easttops is the price you don't have to break the bank getting one.

Same here in Canada! People often say the Easttop is half the price of the Hohner Special 20, but where I'm, the 20 is 3 times more than what I pay for an easttop online. When I started playing, I got a Special 20 C, one Easttop to try, and then several more eastops. I'm still very much a newbie, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the Easttop is at least worth trying.

@@5StringRob it's crazy how expensive the the Special 20 is! They just keep slowly bumping up the prices because people keep buying!
