I've been thinking of buying a new harp, and the Bluesbender caught my eye.
As the name says, it makes bending easier, wich makes it a "bluesier" harp, but since I've never played it, I wanna know your opinion.

PS: Sorry if posted on wrong forum. Seemed the right one to ask this.

Is it an easier-to-bend version of the bluesband?

I don't personally know anything about either of those harps.

I purchased one of these harps when I forgot mine on a trip. I also got a free one as a giveaway at a conference. Not a very good harp, in my opinion, but I'm just starting out. I really enjoy the Suzuki Bluesmaster or Hohner Special 20.

You could always try the Suzuki Overdrive. IT looks insane, I really want to try out. The amount of freedom it gives you for bending and overblow.....

Yeah, I've heard of it. It looks appealing yes, but I don't think it's the right harp to buy right now. Maybe later I´ll reconsider it.

The Blues Bender might sound 'slightly' less fine than the Hohner Special 20 but from what I've experienced with owning both is that the Blues Bender lasts longer.
