Easttop Blues Harmonica Jakes Official Opinion of the T008

Haha very popular item T008K

[@bossfan49]

Thank you! I'm tired of seeing videos from people telling absolute beginners they need to spend a minimum of $50 (Special 20/MarineBand etc) and anything less is a disposable toy.

I ordered and received two EastTop harmonicas. I’m thrilled thanks again Jake for solid advice on harps. I always listen to your reviews and you steer my straight. Thanks Buddy 😎

[@IAMMASED]

I just got one of these and I'm so happy... Its a great harmonica

[@allenhawker3911]

I bought one too in C. I love it! It’s doesn’t get much love in reviews but it’s a good instrument.

[@cyounesful]

Thank you and continue plz.❤

I agree. Every harmonica I've bought in the 1 $10-15 range sucked. Mostly, they're just too hard to play, but the easttop is a good harmonica regardless of it's price. It's not my go to, but I like it a lot.

2023 the price is higher, yet still an amazing value.

Why does it look exactly like the Fender Midnight Blues?

[@Grimmwoldds]

Because Fender is a guitar company. They have other companies(who have harmonica/melodica/accordion factories) make their harmonicas. Easttop is happy to ship out tons of harmonicas with the Fender name/logo coverplates. Then Fender promptly uses their distribution channels to put them in music stores. IDK about you, but I've never seen an Easttop at Sam Ash/Guitar Center/Music & Arts, except for the ones that say Fender on them.

[@landztranz]

What about overblows and overdraws, Jake?

[@ralphcastelli117]

Do any of think these are a long-lasting harmonica???

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

I’ve heard quite a few people say they don’t last nearly as long.

[@bgdn5]

It's very pleasant to play on Easttop 008, but it is not that brilliant sounds as on MB 1860 and holes are a little bit smaller then usual . And so strange condishion and gapp of reed if look up under covers... But T008 really the best between affordable harmonicas

[@freddymorales7599]

Hey Jaque what about special 20 vs. Easttop cpmparison? Thanks.

[@norfolknwhey4787]

Apple and oranges... at least this model Easttop is... the 002 is similar to the sp20, that may be what you’re looking for.

[@johnc4736]

Mine don’t sound like that

[@neohkl]

Anybody developed any strange taste in their mouth, or is it just my imagination. I have been playing on a black t008 for about two weeks. Love it, but just wondering if anybody else has similar experience ...🤔

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

I’ve heard a few people say that. It’s in the paint they coat it with (which I’ve also heard tends to wear off due to lip-action over time)
