Silver Creek 7 Pack of Blues Style Harmonicas Review
Who Makes "Silver Creek" Harps?
Folio: 1| haziz 2 posts May 23, 2018 half dozen:35 PM  | In a moment of foolishness, I purchased a "Silvery Creek" "Diamondback" harp from the local "Guitar Centre" store. Looks like this is their store make. Who makes it for them, and any stance regarding the quality of this harp? Thank you. |
| Rustys26 74 posts May 23, 2018 7:13 PM | I'm not sure who makes that harp, but judging from $56 AUD for a pack of 7, I can tell you lot that information technology is a toy. It doesn't matter who makes it....Hohner makes some of the best quality harps, and they brand some that are accented rubbish. Any harp that costs over $thirty USD for one harp should be fine to start off, and then its just a matter of preference. Marine Band, Special 20, Seydel Session Steel, and Suzuki Manji are all really good harps. I play Marine Bands and keep Special 20s as my "comport harp" as they are less prone to damage when they are squished in my front pocket at piece of work. Don't call back almost it likewise much, but buy a decent harp (or two) and get going. |

I'm with Rusty, spend a bit more than cash and get a good harp. Along with those mentioned, Eastop has some decent models for $xxx or and then, the 008 is one I utilise and like fairly well. Unfortunately nearly store stocked harps- unless they are Marine Band, Special 20, or Lee Oskars- are probably non going to exist very adept. ---------- Reverbnation Youtube |

Unfortunately nigh store stocked harps- unless they are Marine Band, Special twenty, or Lee Oskars- are probably not going to be very good. ---------- Reverbnation Youtube |

Actuallu information technology was US$twenty for one harp, theoretically discounted from Us$30. The "Diamondback" is supposed to be the highest finish line of the "Silver Creek" brand. |
| Todd Parrott 1447 posts May 24, 2018 ane:11 PM | Silvery Creek harps are made by the aforementioned company that makes Golden Birds, Jiangyin Qiling Instrument Co. I had the same question a while back when I saw them at Guitar Centre, and confirmed this with Sung-Hua Yang (Alan) with Gold Bird. While these harps look similar the Aureate Bird Harps, co-ordinate to Sung-Hua, the out-of-the-box quality is not quite as adept equally the Aureate Birds. I bought ane and found this to be true. Apparently, this was a part of the agreement they had with the U.S. musical musical instrument company for whom they made the harps. I'm non certain who the U.S. company/distributor is, as he couldn't disclose that info. Hope this helps! |
| Rustys26 75 posts May 24, 2018 2:54 PM | Haziz, if that is the case regarding the Diamondback, peradventure it is an okay harp to start out on, though I'm not familiar with information technology. Every bit long as it isn't leaky and you tin get a bend on the 2, iii, four, and vi...you can use that harp to begin your journey. I would upgrade to i of the more than popular models earlier too long. I started playing Hohner Blues Harps (a half decent model), so fabricated the switch to Marine Band after about a year or two. Yous might be surprised how accepted your lips will go to the shape of one harp...making the switch a scrap frustrating. Unfortunately you tin can't test out a harp before buying, then you'll have to just trial and error until you find what's right for you lot. |
| jbone 2556 posts May 24, 2018 3:xxx PM | I've been playing for 45 years. In that fourth dimension I've played a lot of different brands and models. A lot of harps exercise feel a bit different just I have e'er made information technology my mission to suit to the musical instrument I'm playing at the time. I believe this makes for a well rounded feel. As long every bit the harp plays okay to very well. Perhaps I spoke likewise shortly, and those Argent Creek are ok harps. Only way to find out is piece of work with them for a while. Reverbnation Youtube |

I have since added two Marine Bands and a Suzuki Manji in C, to the Silver Creek, and only acquired a Hohner Crossover every bit my tertiary A harp in add-on to an 1896 MB and some other Suzuki Manji in A. I have a solitary SP20 in Bb. My E Creek harp has been relegated to noodling in the auto duty. I was just curious. There is very trivial info about them out at that place, and the more frustrated I became about the lack of information, the more than obsessively curious I became! |
| Rustys26 76 posts May 25, 2018 7:50 PM | You probably don't demand and so many harps in the aforementioned key.... I got by on 6-vii harps all in different keys for the beginning 1-2 years. The quality of the harp (so long as it isn't rubbish) is not going to make you a amend histrion. I think this is a common problem with new musicians...much more and so in instruments like guitar. Just play man! |
| haziz 5 posts May 26, 2018 5:32 AM | It is called Harp Conquering Syndrome after all! And aptly named, I have to say! On a more serious note, I practice like to scatter copies of the more mutual keys around. A couple at home, in my briefcase, in the car, etc to maximize practice opportunities, and since I am terribly organized, to minimize my, where the f--- is my A harmonica, moments. I anticipate owning less copies of the less common keys. Another aspect of my acquisition syndrome is that I am having a tough time comparing the various harps and brands of harps, I tried initially to compare my Suzuki Manji A to my MB 1896 C but ultimately felt that I was comparison apples to oranges. I simply "had to" compare apples to apples, so to speak. So far I love my Crossover, like my Manji and SP20, and have mixed feelings nigh the the 1896 MB, I actually like their sound the most (fifty-fifty over my sample of the Crossover) just notice the sharp (sealed) rummage edges a fleck disconcerting in my flailing attempts at learning to tongue block.
