They are not any good, nor are the Chinese-made Hohners. If you do some work on them, you can make them playable, but you are so much better off starting with a real harmonica. Japanese harps, like Tombo, Suzuki, are O.K.

Hi All, 

What chinese harmonica brands are known on the market?
What is your experience with them? Are they any good?
Or can they be made good by customising? 
Links and info about prices are appreciated. I have
not found too much on the net.
