Hi David!

I saw the Blue Midnight hohner blues harmonica and i'm interesting for buy it. So I´d want to know your opinion about this harmonica. I have a Marine Band and Special 20, these are similar of the Midnight?

Here In Brazil, we don't have this harmonica yet, do you know a store that sell and ship to Brazil?

Thanks for your attention!!!

Hello Leandro. I have not played the Blue Midnight yet, so I'm sorry that I can't compare it to other harps for you. I do know it's a budget-priced harmonica... one to fit in a price range... so you're most likely better off staying with the Special 20, or even better the Crossover (the Crossover is a fantastic harmonica).

I have always wanted to try

I have always wanted to try Hering harmonicas, but it is not easy to buy them in Spain.
Having a sign from your country, how sells good products (some people love herings, other hate them) If I were in your pants I will buy a hering blues just now, just like Rod Piazza or Peter Madcat (They have a signature model as well).
Is a pity that Bends (another Brazil sign) closed. I have a pair of their harmonicas and they are very well made and sound great.

For me the best harmonica is the one you have quickly avalaible. The only sign you can have avalaible in Spain is Hohner, for other signs you have to deal with expensive shipping costs.

For example If I want a Hering model I have to pay 20 euros more.
