<Comments on Suzuki Harmonicas (Manji)>
"I started my harmonica journey with Hohner, being honest. Simply, because back in the days it was extremely difficult to find some other harmonicas in provincial city music store.

When I started to tour a lot, especially abroad, I tried some other brands: Suzuki, Seydel and Lee Oscar.
Some of them were endurable, but with low playability. Some - sounds good to my ear but bad to my wallet.
Now, analyzing that experience I can tell that Suzuki has this perfect balance between endurance, playability, and price. And last but not list - awesome design.

Another thing that I love in Suzuki Harmonicas is the innovative approach in constructing kind of one of the simplest music instruments.

I really can't name you any other uncustomized harmonica that can give you the possibility to play, as you can play with Overdrive or SUB-30 models.

Overdrive is my favorite model for studio performing and for playing in a classic way, using my arms. When I play using a holder along with guitar or banjo - I prefer M-20. Because it sits better in the holder and has more universal characteristics. It's AK-47 in a world of harmonicas - reliable and player-friendly."
