I just love my Golden Melody its sounds so nice, its plays like a dream, comfortable to hold in hand. And its almost perfect. Its 10 hole could be better as it is in Manji!, i also wish there were same material comb for Golden Melody as Manji have or at least get custom wood comb . Manji is louder than Golden but Golden have different tuning.
So i think for now in time i will get Golden M set in those keys .
C G A D Bb (Those are keys i like the most)
And i like Harpmaster from Suzuki better than Manji its cheaper and also sounds / and plays very good for me.
Next ones
IDK maybe put money for long time in pigybank for Suzuki Fabulous or B-Radical or Since i like classical music 1 good chromatic harmonica for my harp collection.
I don't know about the MANJI, but I have three GM's(Ab, A & C). I have tried several "boxcar" harmonicas and I can tell you with certainty, I'm done with them. I don't like the way they feel/fit my hands. The Golden Melodys on the other hand, are very comfortable to hold, easy to play , and sound beautiful.
That's my vote. GOLDEN MELODY.
