The Suzuki Folkmaster is a nice, inexpensive 10-hole diatonic mouth harp. Its appearance isn’t very exciting, but it does produce an exceptional sound. The tone is mellow, and notes are easy to bend on this mouth harp. It is also easy to take apart for cleaning, maintenance, and retuning. However, it is worth noting that it has about double the screws of many other harps, and those screws sometimes get stripped. Also, the holes might not line up perfectly. So, you may have to push on the cover plates to get the screws back in. Nevertheless, if you want to get the sound quality of a more expensive harp without spending a lot of money, the Folkmaster is the way to go.
PROS
Screw assembly makes it adjustable
Exceptional sound
