Sadly,cheap harps are almost unplayable & I wish it was not the case...  
OK.... Buy a Chinese Rolex watch for a $100 and will it be as good as a  real 
Rolex watch? at $6,000?
Probably not. 
It is likely be made from inferior material... It is the same with  
counterfeit harmonicas. They might last 5 minutes... But perhaps who  knows?
Not worth customizing in any event.
