Thank you for this review. I now have a new hobby - learning to play harmonica 😊. Your review has helped to make my mind about this instrument. Wonderful one. I love it

I appreciate your honest reviews.

I just bought one of these for my father for his 70's birthday, I also bought one for myself lol. I just found your channel, I really like you and your videos. Thanks!

Best reviews covering all key aspects of the instrument!

Honest review, as usual. Good job!

My wife is quite the critic and prefers the sound of my Crossovers over the Special 20's and Rocket Amps. There you have it!

Great review! How about a review of the Blues Harp, Luke?

I made a good choice then for my daughter's first harmonica. She got one of these for her birthday in A. Thank you for the review.

I switched over to the CrossOver when they came out and I’ve not regretted it( pricey but worth it, if you like to jam. The key marking is on top engraved into the metal case(10) note side. I like it because I’m used to it now and the Key doesn’t wear off like it does when it’s printed.

I still remember your videos from way back!

Very cogent review. Good on ya.

I second this. I have one and love it. Cheers again.

Got one for a birthday present this year and it’s definitely my equal favourite along with the marine band deluxe. At $130-$150AUD it will probably be my 1 & only for some time

Great video! Please, review of the Seydel lightning please!

Hi Luke! Great review, the Hohner Crossover is my personal go-to harp. I would love to know what you think of the Korean “Dabell Noble“. Could you review this harp, please?

I'm a novice in harmonica but I have always try to go for a quality instrument as the cheap ones doesn't contribute much in the first stages of the learning path. Thanks for a wonderful review.

My harp of choice. Best ever! And It overblows right out of the box! Thanks, Luke! :)

To day friend bought for me from USA. All day İ can.t leave from crossover. Exellente sounds

EXCELLENT VIDEO

I'm thinking about getting the special 20 or the crossover as my first harmonica, is there much difference between the crossover having side vents? Which one of the two is quieter? I want something I can play without annoying other people in my house

I have crossover for 2 year, but God I wish to play as you do!

is it possible to get a Crossover in the Key of A it sound absolutely wonderful and i'd love to have to play for Blues, if so link please? Also which harmonica would be good to practice bending on?

Hi Luke. Please review some Metal-Comb harmonicas; like Seydel 1847 Noble, Hohner Meisterklasse, Suzuki ProMaster & Suzuki Hammond.

I just ordered this one. As my first harmonica I didn't know if I'd made the right choice. >v>; Nice to know it's a decent one.

Crossovers are bright yeah, and the other hallmark, to my ears, is a certain raspiness. Great for blues but I find that raspy thing makes it more likely to get lost in the mix for rock. Not sure why, and it's subjective of course. I like a cleaner tone for rock, at the signal source, to which I can add overdrive or run through a naturally overdriven harp mic and harp amp. Special 20 or Golden Melody do this well, also the Rocket

I got a crossover Bb two days ago and it’s now my number 1 My rocket low in c a very close second , a very close second

I'm looking for my first professional harmonica. I saw where you said that the honer marine band with the Reed plates exposed caused famous players to have bloody lips. I want to avoid that at all cost. I wanted something comfortable and eager to play and well suited to along with my ukulele or guitar when I play certain genre of music. I do like a few boxes songs and some popular harmonica bits I've heard. But I'd also like to play harmonica on some of the songs I play that sounds well together when playing either country, pop rock music or even Gospel sometimes. Now I heard somebody say for rock they would choose a hohner rock Amp instead. What are your thoughts on what kind of harmonica I should get that would sound good with rock, pop country music. And which should I get out of the special 20, golden Melody and crossover or something else that sounds best for blues and reggae? Also another thing to factor in is the maintaince and cleaning ingredients it. I heard the wood comb swells and you need seal it. How do you suggest we clean it? Now I've seen people take apart a harmonica and plate the Reed plates and other parts of the harmonica into a ultrasonic washing machine but they didn't out the wood comb in there. They said not to use it in one of those. So how should you clean it or a crossover with a bamboo comb? Now harmonicas with a plastic comb just take it apart and throw it into the ultasonic washing machine and it helps clean up the grime. So that sounds easier to maintain. But what tools do we need to take it apart. Just a screwdriver or a smaller tool? I wondered if you could wash the wood comb in lukewarm soapy water wash it off good then blow dryer it and blow dry the Reed plates and everything would be ok. What are your thoughts on this? I forget if the Golden Melody has a plastic comb or not. So I don't know if all the main pieces can be washed in a ultrasonic washing machine or if the comb needs left out and washer a different way. So I'm looking for the best quality and sound that is comfortable though I do plan to use it on a harmonica holder or rack as you call it around my neck. And something that's easy to clean every other day after use. But I've heard some players wash theirs after daily use. Others once a week. However others every 2 months which sounds gross to me. I think if it's ok I'm wanting a harmonica I can wash every few days as needed in a ultrasonic washing machine or even in soapy warn water using a scent free dish detergent or something else. What would you suggest to clean wood comb, plastic combs bamboo combs? And I heard getting a tool to gently lift the end of each reel plates to make sure its not stuck by a crustation of some kind of also good. I saw that in a hohner video showing how to clean a harmonica however this harmonica had a ton of more screws and parts to it. I knew right away I don't want a harmonica like that. Way way too many parts to take apart. But I know many of us are also wondering how are we suppose to tune a harmonica with a wood, plastic or bamboo comb? What do we need? And how often should it need tuned? Can you share a link with us?

I got so lucky and excited i found a key of A on a clearance rack for only $25!!!

Can't say I like a bright tone but you make it sound good. Certainly not twice the price good though. I can not square paying all that extra for an instrument that will eventually wear out anyways.

Bought one of these for to learn harmonica, 2 draw has been kicking my butt.

How does the seydel lightning compare vs the crossover?? Im curious rly, which is better guys?

This crossover is awesome I think it’s almost twice as good as the very good golden melody.. I have both.. if u want a top harmonica this is the one. Thank you I bought because of this video.. I trust your reviews. Your lessons are awesome too.. mahalo.. special 20 is garbage though.. squeals easily on 9 and 10.. the best is this harmonica..

Hey, could you please do a marine band deluxe versus crossover comparison? The class and price are similar, but where is the difference? Regards from Poland :)

Have you done a review on the Golden Melody?

Hey! Do you know where can I buy it online from a Hohner Dealer to send it out of the US? I'm afraid to buy it on Amazon as I have read some bad reviews on it. I just want to make sure it's authentic😅

Do you wash your sonny boy Williamson shirt in cold water I know it’s not a harmonica question. Because I have that shirt got it yesterday.

Is it just intonation as the Special 20 or equal tone as the Golden Melody?

Hii sir, I want to gift hohner crossover harmonica to my dad but I am not able to understand which harmonica should I choose for him please tell me which key ex. (A,B, C, F) harmonica should I buy which I can gift to my dad he likes to play harmonica but I have no knowledge about it.. and also tell me when i search hohner crossover harmonica in it bronze, metal, wood, stainless steel etc all types come which one will be good for them…

wow.. very nice.... but I'm a beginner.. and I need another advice.. because I think the fender harmonica isn't working well.. if I would like something better than the fender blues special will you advice me to get a hohner traveller or the extra money for a hohner special 20 are well worthed?! because I think the first hole on the comb of the fender is gone or maybe defective from the factory.. thanks again Luke.. I am following your 3 lesson into my email

Luke you are the bomb!

What's your favorite chromatic harmonica around $100 or less that can compliment the Crossover well?

I love your channel man! I bought a Lee Oskar C last week and never played before. I can bend now and somewhat play individual notes and it feels very satysfying! I want a Bb to play Little Walter songs and I've come to the conclusion that this might sound similar to his tone, he used a Marine Band 1896. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!

Can you review the Harmo Polar

I play mainly special 20, I also tried classic marine band, but it didn't impress me. I recently got a Marine Band De luxe as a gift and it has a fantastic full open sound, rich chords, just the playing is not so smooth...Since it is very similar to the Hohner Crossover, I wonder if it is worth paying extra for a crossover, apparently it differs from the de luxe only in the comb material... Your opinions?

Could you rate the Hohner blues harp

Is overblow on hole 6 easy?

What about crossover in A? Sounds better that C?

got one sweet harmonica

What key was that

Hi Crossover key c ist gut ?

What key is this bro?

I’m too happy with the special 20 and the marine band to shell out twice as much money

I like the affordable price of a Big River and the tone is all with the ability of the player not as much with the harmonica used.

Vs Marine Band Deluxe?

You wouldn't know the durability until you played it for a while. I never unpacked a harmonica that rang out every note and bend on the first blows. I have had 35 or 40 and still have some that i didnt give away or somehow destroyed. Oh i am a amateur if that, more like a passing fancy thing/ Harp players dont need a amp and its small /can carry it any where. Just bought a new Harp after a 20 year or better Hey-[BS-[corpus. The price floored me lol "You" I don't deprive somebody making a few bucks but I like total honesty in reviews. Got your video site in the harmonica box. Pretty cool. I learned something on the very first video. Thank You.

I have a couple of Seydel 1847 and a couple of Crossovers, the Seydel don't compare to the Crossover as far as playability

OK, Crossover is just a brand thing. I thought it was a tuning thing, Oh well. Just trying to figure this stuff out. - nubbie

Thank you, Bend Tone, Lolll

lol, "ain't nobody got time for that"

I think the marine band is better

I like your complaint about the key labels not a deal breaker but man so anoying

not a mustache friend,so i dont recomand who have mustache:((
