Same experience here. I needed a Low-F and a backup "A" harp for the 
Barrett Masterclass last year so I got them as Blues Sessions because 
the covers looked like they would be comfortable. The Low F is OK and 
tuned well but nothing to get too excited about. The A harp was 
poorly tuned and not very playable with some reeds playing poorly. 
4+5 blow as well as 5+6 blow sound very VERY bad- unusable actually. 
My cheap Merano (Chinese made off eBay) sound better in those same chords.
