I started with Marine bands when I was 16, I moved into Special 20s when I got older (because of the plastic combs and faster playing), later I upgraded to Lee Oskars and used those primarily for the past 20 or so years. Then I discovered Golden Melodys. They blow the other ones away. They are more optimally tuned ("Equal Tuning") for single-note playing and aren't as melodic in the chord playing. In other words, a Tempered or Intonation tuning of a regular blues harp gives a little in note accuracy to sound better with chords. The differences are minimal but noticeable by audiophiles. I personally didn't notice too much difference in chord sound until I compared one of my Lee Oskars with it. Then you can tell. In a band setting, you will likely not noticed. I am mostly a single-note player and like to use the harp fast sometimes. I've noticed that the holes on the GM are just slightly farther apart than on a regular diatonic harp making it a bit easier to play single notes. The sound is what really stands out here. The pitch, tone and overall music that comes from this thing is really beautiful. Sounds even better through an Orange amp with reverb - just incredible. The shape fits in the hand well, and it's air tight making it super sensitive to slight blows and draws (my preference). If you're looking for a slightly advanced harp that responds fast, plays accurately (the harp doesn't limit your talent, it amplifies it), and caters to single note songs, I highly recommend this one. If you're more of a chord blues player and like to stick around the first 5 holes of the harp, consider a Special 20 or Lee Oskar or even the trusty old Marine Band.

I needed a hard case for my '38 Gibson L-50 and from the dimensions posted on the listing, I knew it would fit well. I was finally able to get rid of the chipboard case it came in.
