If you really want a striking example of the varying price points and 
quality levels of the Hohner diatonic line watch this video.

Annie Raines who is one of the more accomplished harmonica players I've 
heard demos various Hohner harmonicas.  I know we all tend to want to 
say it's the player not the instrument but it's also true that once you 
reach a level of competence on an instrument what you can accomplish can 
be limited by the instrument you're playing.  Witness Annie being 
limited by a Bluesband.  fjm
