Suzuki 2 Timer Full Review

Suzuki 2 Timer SU-21

Overall:  A very nice looking harmonica with sturdy cover plates. Feels  
comfortable
in your hands and mouth. Reed response is very good across the whole  
harmonica.

Price:  US$18.95 plus shipping from Coast To Coast Music.

Keys:  C, A

Size:  21-tone.

Box:  Nice strong cream color plastic box. Key label on top and end of box.
Velvet line with a good thick cleaning cloth inside.

Physicality: Black plastic comb marked with white at the beginning of each  
octave
making it very easy to see the beginning and end of each octave.
If you are new to tremolo this is a nice visual learning tool that can help
you learn the note lay out quickly. Reed plates look like stainless steal
with eight screws holding them to the comb. Cover plates also look like
stainless steel with one brass screw and tap holding them in place at each  
end.
That makes ten screws holding this harmonica together. All of the above  
gives
a nice hefty feel to the harmonica making it feel and look like a quality
instrument in your hands.

Tone & Tuning:  Tune to A-443 in a compromise tuning. While signal note  
play
sounds best to my ears chords are not bad but may sound a little ruff if  
you
are use to true Just Intonation tuning. As for the tone I would describe  
it as
being not to bright or mellow but some where in the middle.

Play ability: The reeds respond very well to light and hard play across
the whole harmonica. No need to change breath pressure on some reeds
with this harmonica.

Downsides:  The only thing I have against the harmonica is it is a dry  
tremolo.
I prefer a more organ like sound that comes from a wet tremolo. Also chords
sound a little ruff to my ears but not bad as stated before.
