Better than expected...
Hans Peter 18.02.2014
Some time ago I just wanted to get me a chromatic harp.
Having been disappointed by the quality of a way more expensive harp by Hohner
there was no point in saying 'no' to this one.

The look:
the harp comes in a dark plastic case with an interior of red velvet imitation.
My first thought was like 'Oh no, this is really cheap...' but you do not play the box ;-)
The instrument itself is made of steel and plastics. Though wood is said to be better,
there's still the price. Plus the plastics needs almost no care and maintenance.

The sound:
though it's not as full as other available instruments, the Chromatic 40 still sounds nice
and not like some really cheap children's toy harps at all.
The drawer works smooth, air goes out only where it has to and both directions are well balanced.

To put it into a nutshell, this harp is great. It's better than I ever expected, so I bought
the Chromatic 64 harp later on. Both of them are really fun to play with.

A very satisfied customer here!

It's over 10 years since I last played a Chromatic; then it was Hohners I used.

To my mind this is an excellent Chromatic, it feels good in the hand, and is comfortable on the lips. The slide does seem a little slow to respond in the higher registers, but the sound is pretty good alround and I'd recommend this harmonica to anyone looking a good instrument either to begin playing chromatic with, to use as a practice instrument or simply to play for pleasure.

It doesn't leak air, does not require hard blowing to produce good notes and has a pleasant tone.

This thing punches well above its weight for the samll sum it costs. Highly recommended.

One year on from the above review - my original instrument has held up just fine. I have recently bought a second to take to Spain with me ( I also have a house there ) and will leave it there. You get an excellent all weather instrument for not much money with the Thomann 1040.

Excellent quality harmonica
enameljobs 23.09.2021
I've played diatonic harmonicas for a few years, and I was looking for a lower-priced entry point to the world of chromatic harmonicas.

This is a fantastic instrument. Easy to play and very robust. I've already taken it to numerous jam sessions. I was keeping it in the case at first, but now I just chuck it in my bag and it's absolutely fine.

Whether you're a beginner, or just want a harmonica you can travel with and not worry about, this is a great option

Great product

The knob on the side may turn some people away but I see it as an extra set of keys in one harmonica. Would highly recommend!
