Hohner Golden Melody Model # 544 Free USA Shipping.

As always, stellar service and a wonderful transaction

First things first, I did not purchase these harps from Rockinronsmusic.com. This critique is based on the instruments them selves. I've been sucking and blowing for 40+ years and I have quite a collection of harps. For my style of playing the Golden Melody 542 just works. It fits my hands, the response is great, and while I'm not a pro sounding good is important. I lost my A harp so I ordered another Golden Melody and in a snafu ended up with 2 Golden Melody V-2's. After 4 days of playing I was beyond disappointed. The new design with the raised covers really changes the way it fits in your hand and how cupping sounds. The comb protrudes from the covers and for me it was uncomfortable and didn't let my hands close as naturally as with the original. Anyhow lesson learned. Customer lost. Goodbye Golden Melody... Finally, I won't be playing them, and I can't return them, so is there a place for unwanted harmonica's?

You are my go to store for harps. Great selection and delivers quickly! As far as the golden melody goes, to me the new improvement is slight. I’m glad they are still being made!

I've played for over 60 years and have had a few Golden Melody's along the way. I retune all my harps very close to or at equal tuning. The harp is very comfortable to hold and is average, in my opinion as to playability. I prefer solid comb harps. They seem more air tight. I find even some less expensive harps work better for me (after tweaking) than the Golden Melody. Probably won't purchase again, but it will be used as a back up.
Good quick service from Ron as always. His company is a 5 star operation, this harp though, for my needs, gets 3 (average)

Shipping is fast and good product selection.
