I bought a set of Suzuki Bluesmaster off of Ebay. Now the owner said he was a professional player and these were used only a few times and he cleaned them. He was a chromatic player, and did not like these harmonicas. Well I bought them and they have been great. I have been playing them 2 years now.Tony Stephens

 I have actually gotten a number of harps on E-bay that have been like brand 
 new and most have played exceptionally well, although a few have been  
duds.  Clean in ultrasonic cleaner and voila....play on.

More  than bacteria or a virus fungus would be a really bad thing to

Band key of G and it was well used when I got it and I just started  
playing it.  Not that I'm advocating this  approach.
