3 reeds are out of tune
3 reeds are out of tune. Terrible for a $200 dollar purchase. Regarding Harmonicaland's response to my concern- I have been playing harmonicas for 68 years all types of music, some CD tracks and paid performances. Most often with Hohner model 270's. Maybe Harmonicaland needs to check their tuner. I could play a tune on Youtube with a 270 and then with the Chinese Angel 12 and let the public decide. The Harmonicaland representative didn't leave their name when claiming that the product isn't defective and that I don't know how to play. I will go back to ordering to a retail store and testing the quality at the store before accepting it.

Dear Robert, This harmonica was tested before shipping and all reeds were perfectly in tune. All employees at Harmonicaland have a professional or very high level in harmonica playing. Please be aware that the player's technique is somehow responsible for how much in tune the note is. Improper embouchure will cause reed to sound choked or out of tune even though the reed is actually in tune. I'm sorry you've been playing for 68 years with improper technique but now at least you can work on it and your harmonicas will sound in tune. Thank you for shopping with us.
