Huang Star Performer Review
You look at this harp, and you think it's an inexpensive way to flirt with the Hohner Golden Melody harmonica. Same shape, right? But one is cheaper, and it's fun to experiment.
After fooling around regularly with the Huang Star Performer, I must tell you that this rig just doesn't feel right in your mouth. I'm spending too much time thinking about how this thing feels and not enough time on the important stuff like tone.
Does it feel good in your hands? Yes. Is it nice to eliminate the sharp edges? Yes, of course. But the business end of this hard it just too flat, too vertical.
My Huang Star Performer doesn't end with its feel-in-the-mouth. I also find the harp doesn't respond so well.
A better idea: Get a Suzuki Harpmaster. That's a harp that feels just fine in your mouth. That harp responds.
