East topFORERUNNER 2.0 without valves Chromatic Harmonica 12-Hole 48 Tones C Key Chromatic Mouth Organ Harmonica for Adults,Beginners and Students As Gift

I recently purchased the Easttop Forerunner 2.0 12-hole chromatic harmonica in C key, and I must say it's an incredible addition to my collection. What caught my attention first was the very economical price, offering great value without compromising on quality. The crystal ABS comb not only adds an attractive look to the harmonica but also contributes to its airtightness for a valveless chrome. I may sand flat the top of the comb surface under the mouthpiece to further tighten up the air if I want to but don’t need ti (I did it with my Forerunner 1.0).I appreciate that all keys function correctly without any issues, and the quiet slider enhances the overall playing experience. The absence of valves means no fuss or worry about temperature effects on the sound and key functions, making it a reliable choice in various conditions.As someone who owns high-end chromatic harmonicas, I can confidently say that this second upgraded version surpasses its predecessor. Whether I'm practicing in the car or on the ski slopes, the Forerunner 2.0 consistently delivers a great performance. It's a real upgrade with better design, aesthetics, functionality, airtightness, and a quieter slider. For those seeking a valveless chromatic harmonica that excels in all aspects, the Forerunner 2.0 is a fantastic choice.Excited to share my recent discovery – the Easttop Forerunner 2.0 12-hole chromatic harmonica, which I'm thrilled to take to the stage for an upcoming jazz jam.

All keys function flawlessly, and the quiet slider enhances the overall experience.

The media could not be loaded. This is the most Comfortable harmonica I’ve ever played I quit playing for a few years because the ones with the wood combs after playing for a while swell up and cut your mouth to pieces. This has round holes that don’t hurt. It’s easier to blow than most of the others I’ve used throughout the years you can also bend notes very easily on all of them unlike most you can only bend a few if any like the 3,4 & 7 holes and most of them these aren’t easy to do but this is a chromatic so you still have all of the sharps and flats for every note along with 4 octaves and without the valves you can play very fast. Like I said it’s comfortable so you can play for hours and don’t have to heal up for a week after playing for a few minutes. An it sounds very good and clean No raspy notes you can make them sound that way if you want but it’s your choice. This is my all time favorite harp I liked the Gold Horner I use to have but this plays way better a lot of the expensive harps I’ve had were very temperamental if the weather changed just a little they wouldn’t work and you had to warm them up or they wouldn’t play most of the notes and you had to have several because after playing for around half an hour they would get where they wouldn’t work and you had to let them rest or they wouldn’t work. The EASTTOP doesn’t seem to have these problems also if you bend the notes most harps are really hard to bend and if you do a few times they stay bend and you have to replace the reads that gets old really quick. I’ve been using a Swan for a couple of years now without having problems but right out of the box the EASTTOP is way better it plays nicer notes bend easier and like I said the holes you blow in are way more comfortable to play to play and doesn’t hurt your mouth the slide is very tight with no air leaks but works very fast and easy. And they come in around all 12 keys not just in C I’m definitely getting more of these at least in A, D and G anyway get one of these you will really love them

Nice Harmonica! I'm new to the Chromatic Harmonica, always had Diatonic harmonicas in the past. This harmonica is much larger than most basic Diatonics. Has a rich, full sound. The slide seems to move freely to transpose to a half-step higher sharp note. Still learning to use it. I'm experiencing trouble trying to bend notes but I think this is more ME and nothing to do with the instrument! For the price, you can't beat it!

This is the second Forerunner 2.0 I have bought. (The first one is unusable because of something I did, not a defect in the harmonica itself.) This is a nice little instrument, especially considering the price. It sounds well in all registers.

I got the 12 hole Forerunner 2.0. It's a quality harmonica especially for the price. If you look at customer reviews for other chroms you'll see that this one rates higher than some that are literally 10 times more expensive. I had to tweek the top C#, Db notes because they really wouldn't play. Lightly pushed them up/down with a toothpick and they play very well. The sound is a bit more "tinny" than my Hohner chromatics, but who cares? The price is right and it's quite playable. And, really, it's not that bad.l'm very happy with this instrument.

Perfect tuning on C-harmonica. Great chromatic slide. Works perfectly. Great gift to grandson.

Easttop has another winner with this nicely airtight, valveless chromatic that requires little warmup, and has no sticking valves or windsavers. Nicely finished, with a genuinely nice, zippered case, this beautiful instrument is ridiculously inexpensive for its quality. While the dynamic range is limited, the tone is great, and this little beauty is another amazing value from the rising star of Chinese producers. The slide does not stick and is silent, an upgrade from the first Forefunner. Arrived quickly, in perfect condition. All 48 notes sound, and you can bend, something not possible with valves. You won't be disappointed.
