HOHNER Bluesband set VS Piedmont Blues set

I've had a Bluesband set for quite a while, but just like some other guys out there, I'm having a few issues with my harps...
And I was wondering if the piedmont blues harmonicas are better than the bluesband harmonicas, because i want to buy a set of harmonicas...

By the way...

Bluesband

Can’t comment on the Piedmont set, but the Bluesband are very ordinary. Remember, you get what you pay for (most of the time).

For the price of a set of PB's, you could buy one really decent harp. Try that and see the difference between a cheap set and a real instrument.

The real value of either set is the case. The harps themselves are OK at best for tooling around with.

I think that most of us are saying, (in a nice way) that both these harps are not very good, but the case the harps come in is rather nice.

You won’t understand how much better a quality harp is until you try it.

Defenetly not worth ! - E , F keys you can easly throw in junk they are super bad . C D G A B keys ar better but still u need to blow 3 times harder than on normal harmonica like golden melody or lee oskar but that case is nice -
i have in it now C golden, D hammond, F promaster, Low F Lee Oskar, G Promaster, A harpmaster and Bluesband Bb - its so bad even label Bb came of from it after 5 times of playing lol.
