Description

This revolutionary new diatonic harmonica is named after Mr. Manji Suzuki, the company's founder — now in his mid 80s, but still very much in charge. He started with a single hand-built model 70 years ago, and has built Suzuki up into one of the world's premier harmonica manufacturers. Harmonicas are Mr. Suzuki's passion and his life's work. The fact he is putting his own name on the MANJI Harmonica is because those 70 years of dedication to perfection are condensed in this one impressive instrument. He is convinced that it will come to be regarded as one of the best harmonicas of the 21st century. The Manji’s comb material simulates the tiny cavities that occur in natural wood, but to realize the best resonance characteristics, SUZUKI avoided having cavities on the surface of the comb. The solid comb, because of the natural wood fiber included, produces a stronger, thicker tone than the sound from an all-plastic comb. Test players have reported "It feels as if the comb vibrates with the reeds!" The Manji’s gorgeous stainless steel coverplates reflect the best of recent developments by custom harmonica makers. To respond to the desires of blues and rock harmonica players, the back sides of the covers are fully opened, for full sound projection. Respecting tradition, big sound holes at both sides allow the player to hear the reeds directly. And, reflecting customizer modifications, SUZUKI is the first manufacturer to move the single attachment screw to the front of the comb, where it applies the optimum pressure to keep the coverplates fully airtight and secure.

Personally, & I suppose that it is a matter of choice.
This item looked cheap, (Although it wasn't).
My impression was that it looked just like a piece of Fudge with a cheap chrome cover on it. Not a patch on my favourite Seydel's.
Just on looks alone I wouldn't recommend anyone getting one. It went straight back into the box without even playing it. An ugly beast,
