DaBell Contender Diatonic Harmonica 1103 Includes USA Shipping

Ive got about 6 of these and I will get more. My only point here is that the embouchure is so slender. The cover plates seem to slope downward and toward one another so that the contact point with your mouth is smaller than what Im used to. But it results in terrific control of your playing. I hope I explained this well. Just compare this harp to a Kongsheng Bluebird whose embouchure is thick and wide. They are both great harps but the feeling in your mouth is vastly different. Try a Contender to see what I mean. Harpe diem everyone

I'm at the end of my stash of NIB Bushman Delta Frost and ordered a couple of DaBell Contenders. Unfortunately, the D harp had some octave tuning issues. That's a no-go for me, as I play rhythm behind my guitar players solos. Ron put me in touch with DaBell founder Benny Yoon who responded immediately with the offer of a replacement. Darn if it didn't arrive NEXT DAY from Korea and is perfectly in tune! That's someone who stands behind their products.

Love the DaBell contender: bends well, sounds great, very bluesy.

5 stars for order processing to delivery timeline! Nobody does it better than Rockin' Ron Hobdy's Team!

I needed a low F# for a specific song I'm working on, and DaBell offers this at a reasonable price. First DaBell I've owned and am impressed, especially at this price point. Very good quality, airtight, responsive, no reed adjustments needed, great right out of the box. I've been spoiled by custom harps lately, but DaBell is one I'd definitely recommend to someone who doesn't have $200 for a custom harp.
Usual quick response and good service from Rockin Rons.
