good for beginner, if they can hear what a scale sounds like
i have played a diatonic harmonica for a long time, alleged blues style. but this is a bird of a different feather. it requires a definite ability to hear what a major and a minor scale sounds like by ear. aside form that it is a fun little instrument. worth the money at the retail price, some of them can be bought used, you will need to see the youtube videos on how to clean your harp, be careful how you take apart your harmonica. the slider has to be put back correctly or you will get the whole step keys when you push the slider, this reverses the breathing pattern if you get the slider plates on upside down.Read full review

The Only Way
I've played the harmonica for almost 50yrs. I've seen so many prospective players frustrated to death trying to play all the variations of 10 holers that they buy for $10 at the department store or local music store. I think there ought to be a law against them. Blues players seem to have the best "luck" learning to play those things and they are far and few between. The chromatic harmonica is the absolute best way for a beginning player to start out in my opinion. It helps to be able to carry a tune when you sing, hum, or whistle. The problem with chromatics is wind savers and high cost and the Educator 10 has solved both of those problems. I have Honer, Herring, Sydel, and Suzuki Chromatics in 12 to 16 hole versions but the 10 Hole Educator is the only version I would recommend to start out on. You can play anything you can hum and it won't cost you an arm and a leg or even one of your kids!Read full review
