What can I say... it's portable. Throw it in your pocket and go! In college I petitioned to have a strings class started. In college it was my goal to learn each instrument well enough to play at a high school level... all in order to understand and write for each instrument well. The only thing I requested was to not have to play the bass. I'm not talking an electric Fender P-Bass... a full-sized upright acoustic concert bass. I was driving a '64 Chevy Nova II Super Sport that my dad restored... 6 cylinder... he didn't feel the boys needed a V8 :-(... and was not the best size to be totin' a bass around. Well, long story short, I was wrestling a full sized bass in my car ever day on my way to school. Love your portable harmonica... until you get a big harp case and amp of course ;-).
