Verdict - The Hohner Golden Melody is one of my favorites of the Hohner harmonicas. Like Lee Oskars, it’s tuned to equal temperament, so that single notes in any position will sound in tune, making it a favorite harmonica of gospel, bluegrass, and jazz players, including harmonica virtuoso Howard Levy. On the other hand, if you’re playing a lot of chords, you might choose a Special 20 or a Rocket, for a sweeter sound. But the Golden Melody is incredibly responsive, easy to bend, and comfy, and it’s smaller design makes it a great choice for players with smaller hands.
