This harmonica is great for beginners! Not too expensive and in my experience it is a very capable instrument which grows with your skill level. The quality is good, nothing spectacular but at this price point it's really amazing that you get a good sounding fully fledged instrument! The plastic box it comes with is fine, after all a case is better than no case but if anything it feels like the cheapest thing here. The interior of the case feels cheap and the opening mechanism works but isn't the best I've ever tried but this is really only nitpicking here, it's an amazing instrument and for the price I highly recommend everyone should pick one up!
