One of the better harp cases available... September 10, 2007
This is one helluva case! Holds all my harmonicas (7 to date, with a chromatic on the way) with the foam allowing for my tuner, digital recorder, and harmonica neck holder to be stored along side all of my harps.
Tougher than you'd think... and the foam definately keeps your stuff where you left it. Other cases leave your stuff loose and while they may lock, they dont have that secure feeling foam provides (No reeds getting knocked out of place if something should happen like a drop)...
As far as seeing multiples at gigs, parties, etc... Hell, make it your own... Fill in the Hohner logo with a paint pen, plaster it with your favorite bands stickers. Then you know it's yours.
Affordable. Does its job. What else can I say? December 5, 2005

As I see it, there are two kinds of harmonica players: the kind who just like the novelty of the instrument or only play it as an occasional thing (for example, the established rock guitarist or singer who pulls out the harp for just one song), and those who more or less take it as their main instrument. If you're serious about the harmonica, then you'll eventually have to get harmonicas for all 12 keys. This way you'll be ready for just about any song. One diatonic "C" harmonica, which by far and large most harmonicas are manufactured as, isn't gonna cut it!
The outside construction is pretty rugged. Two metal latches, one on either side of the plastic handle, keep the case snapped tightly shut when it's closed. The inside is all layered with black foam. On one side you have two columns of 6 holes each, to hold your diatonic harmonicas. They don't have to be Hohner; any brand will snuggly fit. Most players seem to line their harps in chromatic order. Personally, I order mine according to the circle of fifths, as I find it easier to grab the right one for playing melody or cross-harp. Whatever works.
There's an additional space along the top for a chromatic harmonica. While this particular space is shaped like a chromatic harmonica, complete with button, not all chromatics are going to fill the space. Mine is smaller than the space given, so it doesn't fit as snug as the 12 diatonic harps. It doesn't matter though, because the adjacent side of the case is fully layered with the same foam, so when you close the case nothing will slide around.
Some other harmonica cases give you extra space for carrying a harp microphone and cable, but unfortunately this one doesn't. Keep in mind though that if it did, the case would probably be twice the thickness. Considering that a lot of harp players are still comfortable using the regular microphones you see at the bars and clubs anyway, I don't see this as being that big of a deal. It still makes for a nice light-weight case, not much bigger than a stack of photocopying paper.
One last thing worth mentioning: this is a pretty common case. I've been to a couple of parties and jams where other harmonica players were present, and had the same exact one! So if you get one, I would suggest tying something to the handle or writing your name somewhere on the outside with a white marker.
