  And I bet they will all sound like a piece of shite! So, what is the 
point Hohner USA is trying to make here? What we need is an good instrument, 
and not a toy signed by somebody who never  knew how to play anyway. This 
marketing ploy by a company that gave us the Marine Band, the Deluxe and the 
Golden Meldoy is, in my opinion, pathetic and, yes, insulting when Seydel, 
Suzuki and others are trying to match, one has to reckon with some success, 
these fine harmonicas.
