Verdict - The Fender Blues Deluxe is the best budget harmonica in my opinion. Excellent responsiveness, on all 10 holes, easy to bend and control bends. Slightly louder, brighter tone compared to the Hohner Blues Band, which is my second favorite budget harmonica. If you can afford the Fender Blues Deluxe, I don’t think you’ll regret purchasing it! Great beginner and intermediate harmonica.
Any questions or comments about the harmonica just let me know in the comment section below!
I have 3 Fender Blues Deluxe I keep in my car for stop lights. They have been in there over 3 years, no problem. Couple years ago I was at a community festival. There was a jam group playing. I ask when they met so I could come play. They said play now so I grabbed the Fenders and set in. They all invited me to play with them full time.
Aw, that's an awesome story Richard. Rock on! 🤘🏼
Just bought two of them, one for me and one for my 87yo grandad. Can't wait to play with him. Thx for the review 👊🏻
Wow, that's so cool Lorenzo! Hope you enjoy it!
I have this harmonica. I'm a beginner. But it's everything you said it is. I also add the DeVille harp. I love that one too. Between these two fenders and my two Honher harps, I'm learning a lot from your videos. I used to play around as a kid. Now as a middle-aged guy, I've rediscovered it and I'm taking it seriously. Having fun. Thank you.
Wow, cool! I haven't played a DeVille yet. Just added it to my to-do list to review that one at some point. Hey meanwhile, if you wanna turbocharge you growth, you might dig my Beginner to Boss course which you can check it out here, if you haven't already: www.harmonica.com/lessons/
Ordering two for me and my dad in Daphne Blue. Your site and vids have been an incredible education in things I've always wondered.
So glad to hear it Ben. Good looking out for dad! 🎶👊🏼
I have played for a week now and this one is my first harmonica , thanks for all the helpful lessons. You and a old guy are my first teachers
Sweet! You are very welcome. Rock on!
lol, if you are referring to gussow, i am on the same path and have just purchased this model
how are you doing 8 months later?
@@theHoIesame for me😂 gussow is a legend. Have you continued playing? I'm curious since this was a few years ago.
@@timothyparker5588 i pick it up like once a month. i also play guitar, so i want to get a harmonica stand and do both at the same time.
Thanks, Luke. Having put a couple more expensive harmonicas into my Amazon cart, I came across this review for these Fender Blues Deluxe models, and duly removed the more expensive ones and purchased instead 3 of these (an A, a C, and a G) at your recommendation, and a Hohner holder, and I am very happy with all, and...I saved myself a chunk of change in the process. 👍
Good job! So glad the review helped.
Rock on,
Luke
@@Harmonicacomi need an harmonica but i want you to but it for me please. Thanks a lot. Emmanuel
Also I knew a guy in high school who would carry one with him everywhere he went and he was awesome on it. Easy to carry. 🙂
Most portable instrument ever!
Thanks for the excellent review, I have just bought a Fender Blues Deluxe, can't wait to get started playing.
Hope you enjoy it!
Was shopping for a harmonica and was eying whith this particular one.
Based on your review i bought a set of 3 (A, C, G) for almost exatly 30 bucks (price includes an unearthly 27% VAT).
For now i am super content with them.
Very nice! Glad to hear it.
rock on,
Luke
I got one of those for Easter yesterday. I agree it is very good, especially for the price!
It really is!
Hey I got one for Easter today!
4 dislikes? Dudes spot on. Best harp review ever.
Thanks for the kind words, Bill!
Aloha,

Got a 3 set of the Fender Blues Deluxe on your recommendation. Good advice, Luke!!
Sweet! Rock on!
Just bought one of these after seeing one of your Beginner Blues lessons... then saw your review. Looks like I picked a decent first harmonica. It arrived yesterday and seems decent. No idea how this will go, but I’m gonna give a good try!
Oh, sweet. Yeah, you chose REAL well Andy! You might enjoy these 3 free lessons: www.harmonica.com
My uncle used to play harp years ago, before he died and I loved the sound. I play about everything, but no wind instruments. So this would be my first.
Do it!
I once had an inexpensive "C" harp that I liked that only cost me $5.00. It was a Hoener Pocket Pal. I lost it one day and remembered visiting a friend down the road the day before and went back to see if I'd lost it there. Sure enough, it was in the road where I'd dropped it getting out of my truck. Thankfully it was a dirt road and although it had been run over, it still played pretty good, despite looking like a Cuban Sandwich. (pressed, for those who aren't aware)
Nice! Yeah, the Hohner Blues Band is the cheapest harmonica that I think is worth buying.
@@Harmonicacom Once I'd tried an Oskar and a Suzuki Bluesmaster, I appreciated the differences from the entry level harp. ( my first was a hoener64 at age 10, hardly an entry level harp, and gone somewhere now,)
@@Harmonicacom The reeds in the colored plastic hohners actually play a lot better than the bluesbands in my experience and they are considerably cheaper. Good choice if you don’t mind the plastic.
I have a Hohner Crossover, a set of Special 20's ... and they are great harmonicas .... BUT I LOVE MY FENDER BLUES DELUXE HARMONICAS ....
If they changed the price from 12 dollars to a 100 bucks, they'd have me fooled ..... It's comfortable, plays well, bends well .... AND ... it's 12 dollars.
If I get get held up and they take my harmonica, I'll order another dozen! I love your videos. Great personality. Great teacher.
Hey thanks for sharing, and thanks for your kind words! Rock on! 😎
I just ordered it because of watching yours review , thank you !
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for your video. I don't know much about Harmonicas, and this helped me make a wiser choice. Plus, I never have heard of Lee Oscar till you. So cool!
Right on Marvin!
When I was ill, all my best harps were stolen. Homer and Suzuki blues masters a lot of them.
I am disabled and retired poor.
This sounds like a good replacement on a budget. I am buying.
Yes Great choice! Also the East Top 008 is worthy of consideration. sorry for your loss!!! Rock on! 😎
Thanks for the best video of this harp, which I have just ordered. I was looking for a good Blues harp to start playing.
I have bought a set of cheap Hohner harps that comes in a nice case but so bad in quality sound.
The only thing that I really H%T# is the lock; what a terrible challenge
Awesome review ! I wish I started with this harp!
Cool. glad you liked it.
Aloha,
Luke
I have a couple, really like them.
Sweet. Glad to hear it Mike.
Hi, I am an intermediate harmonica player. I bought the pack of three (A,C and G): the sound is pretty good but I found the the covers near hole 1 and 10 are damaging your lips because the bend is not appropriate.
In conclusion I sent them back to the seller.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello i'm very glad to know that you're helpful like this. Thanks for that really great.
You're welcome, Emmanuel. Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tip Bro!!!BTW you are an awesome harp blower!!You are one beautiful cat!!
Aww, thanks so much, Jeff. Appreciate the kind words. Right back atcha. Takes one to know one. ;-) Rock on my friend!
Aloha,

Don't have a fender blues deluxe yet, but am definitly gonna get the set with 7 harps by the weekend! 😁
And here is why...
At the end of last year, I got my 1st harmonica as a present: the Suzuki Bluesmaster in C.
Now 4 months later, after lots of abuse, blow 1 has given up completly.
Another Bluesmaster would be at 35€ around here, while 7(!) Blues deluxes go for 69€. And from what I hear they are not bad! Looking forward to my 1st budget harps. Thanks for reviewing them 👍
PS: I'm not expecting them to be as great as an instrument that costs so much more. But, in the time since getting the 1st, there were more that followed. Suzuki, Hohner and Seydel, not the most premium ones but enough to feel proud(in a way). And facing the reality that they might all break at some point(repairable or not), is something I would like to avoid as much as possible. Especially since I can't play them as well as I wish yet. 😅
I think you'll be really happy with Blues Deluxe set. Keep us posted!
@@Harmonicacom Thanks Luke! Ordered the set a couple days ago, if I'm lucky it should be here by the weekend.
I will definitly try to give some feedback, ones I get to play them.
They are here. 1st impressions are positive!
The bag: looks a bit cheap, but it's practical. And the room for the harps is big enough to fit any other model too. When I got 2 Suzuki low Manji's, they came with this semi-hartshell case for 3.
That one can only take the Manji or Olive, a Bluesmaster(also Suzuki) for example barely fits in... 🤦♂️
The Harps(handling): a bit sharp on the edges(where your hands touch, not on the mouth) but not uncomfortable. And very comfy on the lips.
The Harps(soundwise):
Everything I can do, works well with these! I'm impressed, for that price. The name 'budget-harp' had me worried, but they don't sound cheap at all. I'm happy with what I got!👍
PS: my 1st natural minor and therefore my first Lee Oskar arrived together with the fender set. So if my review seems rushed, forgive me. Will add on to that in a week or two, once I realy played them for a bit longer...
Now, after 2 weeks:
Of the 7 keys, 4 are good but the D,E and F have not been set up as good as they could.
What I mean is, that on those 3 I've got no trouble playing from hole 1 to 6. But above that, things get a little tricky...
On the D harmonica it's the least obvious, on that one blow 8-10 need a bit more breath, than their respective draws.
The E and F on the other hand are bad. You can play till hole 6 as any other but above that(especially the 10), you need much more air pressure.
And when you like to play fast in the upper end and then switch back to the lower end, you might curse on a daily basis. Like me. 😅
But as much as it annoys me, it's still bearable. Most companies offer a set of A,C and G to get started on(and cost about the same as this set of 7)...
Those are included and do their job as they should. And on top of that you still get a well set up Bb harp.
So 4 Harps in the most common used keys(major), plus 3 harps that can be seen as less airtight big six's(in cheap). For that price it's still a win. 👍
Overall I'm satisfied with what I got.
PS: it might just be a coincidence that those 3 ended up that way. Who knows, if you can test them before buying, go for it.
Old, vid, But as a beginner of 1 month, and new subscriber, BTW great easy to follow lessons.
On the Fender Blues Master, I've bought a few cheap C harps to get started, but after watching a few YT vids realised, that it's just like with guitars, Buy cheap guitars usually with high actions, are harder to play, So I thought I'd buy a decent harp, a C Suzuki Pro Master, But just like the cheap harps, I was still having the usual problem with getting the breathing correct, on the 2 draw. After watching this review, and a few others, I bought, set of 3, Fender Blues Deluxe harps (A. C. G) with case. off UK Amazon (2.4.2024) £30 posted.
I don't know if the C harp I've got with this set, is a one off, but I have no problems at all with the 2 draw.
Looking to catch up with the many lessons you have. 👍😊
99% it's technique more than it is the harmonica. Don't you worry, this is normal problem that most beginners experience! 👌🏼 These are the tips for a getting good -2:
1.) Let gravity lower your jaw so that it's totally relaxed and in a nice "aw" vowel shape, your teeth should be far apart from each other
2.) Keep the back of your tongue down, like it is when you yawn. Make sure it's not in the "Kk" zone (how your tongue is when you say a "Kk" consonant.)
3.) Nice steady, GENTLE, airflow. Most beginners (and many intermediate and advanced players) use WAY to much pressure.
Hope that helps! 😎
Aloha,
Luke
@@Harmonicacom Thanks for the info, appreciated,
I can play the Guitar, but, I've always been interested in the harp, for carrying around with on hols, I've seen couple of YT vids, ads. Learn to play the harmonica. Easy to play. It's certain not, And I should have realised that you you need different key harps to jam along with all songs 😊
Thanks for the review, but I must say that when you are directly comparing the Fender with the Hohner, your descriptions seem exactly opposite of what I am hearing! The Hohner is coming across as both louder and brighter!
Interesting. I wonder if you played them yourself if you'd have the same experience?
Thank you❤❤❤. I love the JDR brand, Chiniese. ( Have you tried it? I have the Evolution and also the black one for 34.-$. both great!! Try them and tell me what you think of them. Myself I only play since 1 year blues harp, I am 70 and hope God gives me another 20 years to play the blues harp😅
I've played the ones that Bushman re-branded which he calls the Game Changer and the black one you have I think he calls the John Lee. Black One ain't bad for sure. The Game Changer is amazing. I need to do a review on it...
My brother im really glad i saw your review.
Im in Brazil and here we have this Fender... Some Hohner at very expensive price... And some other locals brands... Such as hering.
Im about to buy my very first one. And i was thinking the fender... Now you give me my last push. Imma go for it, hohner can wait till i learn some and also save some cash for it. Southmerica budget is short. Lol.
Thanks a lot man ! 🤝
Perfect. Rock on! 😎
This is a little weird because i have been a fan of your channel for a little now and i decided to get a new harmonica and bought the blues deluxe.later that day i went on your channel and found this video. coincidence, i think not
i forgot to say in my previous comment you are a god guy keep on doing what you are doing love your vids
That's awesome! You're on the path!
I looked up the parent company and found it is indeed made by the same as Fender guitars. It is manufactured in China, but has the Fender reputation behind it.
Yeah Denny, it's a great value for the money, but I think the East Top 008k is even better in the budget category.
Excelente reseña!!
Gracias!
I've been playing the blues harmonica since the late 60s and have used all sorts. I have just got one of these Fenders for the first time, for rehearsal purposes, and am astonished at how good it is. My only concern is, with all the bending I do, how long will it stay in tune? Lee Oskars sound great, but I find they go out of tune more quickly than others. Will the same happen with this? Only time will tell......
You can bend without drawing/blowing too hard. It's the forcefulness that makes reeds go out of tune more than the bending. Easy airflow = long-lasting harps.
thankyou for sharing waiting on mine now i have a vintage honer commet just not sound im after
Keep us posted how you like it Chad. 👍🏼
Totally dig it !
Hi Luke, I'm looking to buy one of these, and other people on CZcams recommend a C key for beginners. I can't find one anywhere, what other key would you recommend for this harp? It is my first ever harmonica.
Key of C are easy to find. We carry them:
www.harmonica.com/store/fender-blues-deluxe-harmonica/
Definitely start with the key of C!
Just got myself one too! Lookin forward to doing some 'Bendin'! Tho im both useless and clueless when it comes to this 'black art'!
czcams.com/video/moVpn-mBFr8/video.html
I used this Harmonica for about a year now, but I find it difficult to blow the 1, 2 and 3 holes. I feel like air can't just go through them.
Really...hmmm. That's interesting. So it's gotten worse over time? Have you played it a ton?
This is the harmonica I use as I watch the Beginner to Boss videos. I don't sound as good.
Hey Daniel - so happy you're doing the course. You'll be sounding like a boss before you know it!
@@Harmonicacom I just started and even though I'm only learning chords all the different articulations and shapes I'm doing with my mouth has allowed me to isolate and play single holes. I'm looking forward to this long journey. Thanks!
It looks good for that price.
In my country, Fender Blues Deluxe box with 3 harmonicas C, G, A is around 60 USD, is it worth ti buy it, or maybe is better to order EastTop harmonicas from ebay and wait for a two months 🤔
Please can you advice me, if it is in class with EastTop, I will buy this Fender Blues Deluxe, rather than wait for EastTop from China.
Thanks🙂👍
Personally, I'd go with the Fender Blues Deluxe's! Even at $20/each, they're an amazing value!
@@Harmonicacom, thanks! 🙂👍
@@Harmonicacom, actualy it is around 45 USD for 3 harmonicas, very good 👍
Thanks again!
How much can you get East Top harmonicas? I've tried all the budget harps and East Top plays far better than everything else I've tried
I'm a bass player but I found a harmonica let's get it on
boom. You got this! 👊🏼
Any opinion on the Hohner Piedmont Blues, especially vs the Fender, further the "kits"?
I'm not a big fan of the Piedmont Blues. I'd take the Fender or an East Top 008k.
What harmonica key should I get first A,C, or D. Im a beginner so please let me know im so lost lool!
All harmonica teachers recommend a 10 hole diatonic blues harp in the key of C for beginners.
Yep, I agree with Klaus V. DEFINITELY KEY OF C!
@@Harmonicacom thank you :)!
Hey Luke .. i bought the fender Blues Deluxe.. i've got a super question ... i did some warming before playing the Fender.. just breathing in and out gently and going hole to hole on the comb breathing.. THEN after playing it for about 4 hours at super beginner level doing your stuff like scales or low rider song or the lion sleeps tonight.. while doing a train on it NOW using the first hole of the comb doesn't sounds NO more good to me .. it seems that it is stuck or blocked by a rag.. :-o ... It is possible that i ruined it? or it is the moisture on the inside due the hours i played it and maybe abused it? Thank you for your Reply ..
Hey this is something that happens to all of us from time to time. 9When I can, I love to floss/brush/mouthwash before playing.) Probably just something got stuck in one of the reeds. I recommend running it under water and gently tapping it against the palm of your hand to try and shake loose whatever little debris has clogged it. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
@@Harmonicacom Yes Luke i washed my teeth before .. gently flushing with water as you suggested did the magic .. thanks. :-)
Who know $12.00 could make me so happy!
Right on Aldine!!!
have you tried the Easttop key C before? If so what did you think of it?
Hey Elizabeth - yes just recently. Very impressed by the East Top 008k!
Thanks. Have you tried the Fender blues Deville? If so, how does it compare to the Fender blues deluxe?
I have - I'm not personally a fan of the DeVille. I'd rather play a Lee Oskar, Golden Melody, Special 20, etc...
Great review.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I need to learn how to do the “miss you” harmonica solo
Oooooh. Nice one! I teach that song in my Beginner to Boss course: www.harmonica.com/lessons/
Is fender blues deluxe harp goo for country a BG style, too?
Is this harp good value for money? Or is for example Hohner with similar price better. Thx
Yes it's good for country. What Hohner can you get for a similar price?
@@HarmonicacomHohner Silver Star or Hohner Blues band.
hi luke. Bro i got a brand new fender harmonica and the 6,7,8 notes are making a poor draw sound, allmost no sound. I opened a lil bit of the reed gaps and worked a lil BIT but still horrible to draw. if i open more, no sounds come off, what should i do? the blow is Ok
It's probably technique issue. Everybody struggles with high notes, ESPECIALLY at the beginning.👌🏼 -7, -8 are the most frequent ones that REALLY trip people up, but anything 6 and above can prove problematic!
Remember to be patient with yourself. This may take some time...
These are the tips for a getting good clean high notes.
1.) Let gravity lower your jaw so that it's totally relaxed and in a nice "aw" vowel shape, your teeth should be far apart from each other
2.) Keep the back of your tongue down, like it is when you yawn. Make sure it's not in the "Kk" zone (how your tongue is when you say a "Kk" consonant.)
3.) Nice steady, GENTLE, airflow. Most beginners (and many intermediate and advanced players) use WAY to much pressure.
Hope that helps! 😎
Aloha,
Luke
I got one and the holes keep getting stuck 😞
Try running under hot tap water, and then tapping out both directions. Also, you may be using too much air pressure.
I didn't even know Fender made harmonicas. I'm a big Lee Oscar fan and have been using those for years. I need a review on the decay factors. After a month or two, are Fenders still in pitch? 🎵🎶🐀🐾
Fenders are not on par with Lee Oskars. Even the East Top 008k which I think is even better than the Fender Blues Deluxe, they're not gonna be a durable as Lee Oskars. They're good for people on a tight budget, or who just want to "dip their toes in the water."
I can only get one in F... Is that worse than the C?
Yeah, you're gonna want a C so you can follow beginner vids. We have them in C:
www.harmonica.com/store/fender-blues-deluxe-harmonica/
I'm looking to learn the harmonica and i think this one is great but what key should i get? I Like the sound of this one but i can't tell which it is?
Start with Key of C!
Does it have stainless steel reeds? I heard fender was using SS now..
Hey Paul - no, it's got brass reeds. They would have to increase their price if they switched to stainless steel as it's much more expensive than brass. Personally, I prefer the tone of brass anyway.
Hi Luke. I purchased three fender blues from ebay.
Unfortunately each of has about three holes which dont respond. What can i do?
Which holes don't respond? Everybody struggles with high notes, ESPECIALLY at the beginning.👌🏼 -7, -8 are the most frequent ones that REALLY trip people up, but anything above 6 can prove problematic!
So if those are the problem notes, here's some tips for a getting good clean high notes.
1.) Let gravity lower your jaw so that it's totally relaxed and in a nice "aw" vowel shape, your teeth should be far apart from each other

Do tout recommend this over hohner blues harp c?
I would also like to know the difference between this and Fender blues DeVille
Hey there - totally different harps. This is a plastic comb. Hohner Blues harp is a wooden comb. If I was buying a wooden comb Hohner, I'd go with a Marine Band, or if I could afford it maybe a Crossover over the Blues Harp any day of the week. The Fender Blues Deluxe is not on the same level as Hohner Special 20, Marine Band, Crossover, Golden Melody, or Lee Oskar harmonicas. The Fender Blues Deluxe is amazing FOR THE PRICE.
I haven't reviewed the Blues DeVille yet, but will soon!
Rock on,

@@Harmonicacom thanks a lot for the comment, your precious ideas came in handy
What's a good harp in the key of A for playing Canned Heat's On the Road Again?

Can you please do a review, and comparison of the fender midnight blues harmonica, key of c, preferably
Hey I just played a Blues DeVille which I believe is the same thing as Midnight Blues except that it's black instead of blue. Wasn't super-impressed. For that kind of money, I prefer a Lee Oskar or Special 20.

How bad are the air leaks?
Hmm. I've heard people talk about air leaks a lot. What method would you use to gauge this?
$60, May 2023, in Canada. What the heck, so much money.
I WOULD NOT BUY IT for that price!!!
Hello! is there any brand of harmonicas that tune to A=440 Hz instead of A=442? thanks
Not to my knowledge. To my understanding they're tuned a little bit higher because our air pressure tends to make them go a little flatter, so they end up sounding in tune. I'm not by any means an expert on this subject. But I've never had a recording engineer complain that my harmonica sounds out of tune (if it's a new harmonica, that is, lol.) I wouldn't worry too much about it....
Seriously, do not worry about a tuning difference of 2 Hz. Seriously.
Fender midnight blues is a better harmonica. Bought one Fender blues deluxe and its not the best. Blowing and drawing is not easy and so is the bending.
Thanks for sharing, Lance! Yeah, it's not on par with $40 and up harps, but for the money, tough to beat.
Lance, I just started my harmonica journey with this blues deluxe. Already I can bend the first draw, however all the others are proving difficult. I do find it easier to play on the Fender than the Suzuki Bluesmaster.
Sir could you review easttop t008k or pro20 thanks a lot
Yes, I will Charlie! Just played an 008k for the fist time and was very impressed. More to come...
What country manufacturers the fender harp ?
Probably China I'm guessing?

I am on it, thanks man...
Rock on!
Hay mate which is the song you played when you tested bendability?
Hey James - it's not a song. I was just bending every note that you can bend, coming down, and then going up the blues scale a bit. Something like this:
BLOW BENDS
10 10' 10" -10 9 9' -9 8 8' -8 7 7' -7
DRAW BENDS
-6 -6' 6 -5 -5' 5 -4 -4' 4 -3 -3' -3" -2 -2" -1 -1" 1

Why did you fail to say it Luke? But yo good man
Fail to say what? 🤣
Bro, this or silver band or folk master ?
I've never played a silver band, but I'd go with this over a folk master any day of the week. I'd even wager it's bette than the silver band (even though I've never played a silver band, lol!)
I was play SilverBand...I would not recomed that thing to anyone
I have only played the folkmaster out of those three choices, but I’m looking up reviews to see how the Fender harps are. I can say I really enjoy my folkmaster and it’s really nice for the price, but it’s volume is a bit low compared to other cheap harps I have. Takes a lot less air to play than my blues bands though.
I have one in g and it's pretty good to me!😸👍
Very nice!
I just got one just to play Piano Man, tbh.
Oh that's such a classic. I teach it in my course Beginner to Boss, btw.

Hey Johnny - yes I'm using C harmonica's on all of my CZcams videos and I highly recommend all beginners to start with key of C, and I explain why here: forum.harmonica.com/t/why-c-harp-and-what-key-harp-to-get-next/5678
And here is my article on best brands to consider: www.harmonica.com/which-harmonica-to-buy/
Though if you're on a really tight budget you could also consider a Souidmy.
Hope that helps!
Thanks!!
