Some I'll keep from this set. I've got to find a replacement for F harp since I'll be using it quite a bit. Doubt I would get the same model.
Sound
The quality of sound varies greatly from harp to harp. The G, A & Bb key harps have great sound and are very responsive, they, re about an 8. The C key harp is playable, but the quality of sound varies greatly from hole to hole, with the lower ones hardly usable due to air leakage - rate it a 5. The D harp sound is similar to the C harp, but not at all responsive to a draw - rate it a 4. The E harp is so leaky that it is nearly unplayable - rate it a 2. The F harp is flat out unplayable - rate it a 0.
Features
Included a very nice 7-harp case.
Ease of Use
Very easy with the G, A & F harps. Hard for the others except for F, which is impossible to play.
Quality
From the above, it appears that quality control at Hohner is very questionable. I realize that these are not great harps and I likely got what I paid for. However, I have a Bluesband C harp circa late 60's early 70's that is a great instrument, that influenced my decision to get these.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't yet, but I intend to contact Hohner with my experience with these harps.
