Many world-renowned harmonica players have endorsed Tongbao harmonica, including the well-known harmonica group Bom X Boa, chromatic harmonica player Minami Risa, famous harmonica player Toshitaka Saito, and Kan Machu. Compared with the wild and wild timbre, Tongbao's sound tends to be softer, which is related to the spot welding technology inside Tongbao's harmonica. There is no such thing as a good or bad tone, and you need to choose it according to your preferences and playing style. However, in terms of craftsmanship and stability, the Japanese harmonica is generally better than the German harmonica.

Founded in 1847, it began to expand rapidly in the early 20th century.

Said's product line focuses on ten-hole harmonica and chromatic harmonica, which is related to its main focus on the European market, due to the process and material, Said's pricing is also higher than the three major brands...
