JDR Assassin Review! Overblowapalooza!

Quick review of the JDR Assassin - about $65, factory set-up for ease of overblows. If ya wanna learn the technique (seems like everybody does), then it's good to have a harp that you KNOW will actually OB once you learn how. The Assassin will do it. Maybe even ODs, but I kinda suck at those (har de har), so the jury's sorta out on that. Easy to play, responsive, good tone, HUGE mo fo of a harp tho, so not my day-to-day cup o' harp tea, ya folla?

This is just the sort of thing I need to know before I order something unfamiliar. One thing I would really appreciate is to find out where to buy these things - I know that will vary depending where you are in the world, but when I can't find them in a music shop, it becomes a guessing game. Here in Australia, people are selling the Chinese Easttop Harmonicas on Facebook Marketplace, though I haven't purchased any that way. This is one of the downsides of harmonica playing - you can't try before you buy. This is where you come in, Tim. I get the feeling that there is not someone in shades standing next to you with a small bag of unmarked notes saying 'remember... only tell 'em the GOOD stuff now' - this is appreciated. The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind...or is that OUT ?😄

Hey Tim nice review! Yeah I think that harp is just too large. Did you try to cup it with a JT30 or something like that? Because I think my hands would get tired.

[@Tim48103]

No, I haven't tried it with a mic, doubt I will. This is a good practice harp for overbends, and yeah, it's playability is very good, responsive, all that - but that's about it for me. Too much iron in the gob, ya know?
