Caio amico! Io sono Italo-Americano. I also play and really like Easttop. I play the ones with the brass combs. I like that Performer you played. Sounds great! Bravo!
Suzuki is costing me double the amount.... As I'm getting a very good deal on the eap-12. So, just ordered it.....😊 Plus, I've heard a lot about some reed issues with the Suzuki....😐
Hi Max, i got this harmonica 7 months ago, but then it came in black color, not blue. What is your opinion on the performance of the valves? I find mine to stick all the time, especially on hole 1 and 2. I need to warn it up and keep mine at body temperature at all times or i will have problems playing.. Maybe it is common problem on all chromatics? This is my first one, coming from diatonic, wanted to play. Love the build quality and sound other than that. My living room is warm, air humidity is nominal and my mouth is as dry as possible of course. Just wanted to check, maybe i have a faulty model.
1 year later, how is it holding up or what have you changed since? But yes, most valves have issues with sticking. I have a kongsheng lyra and the new CX 12 clone from kongsheng, and that also sticks. This is why even professionals will have multiple chroms on a heating mat at all times to keep them from sticking. We're talking very expensive chroms too
2 hole draw is notoriously difficult for beginners on diatonic harmonicas, I'm jot sure if it is the same on chromatic, but it is worth googling. There's tons of videos about two hole draw on youtube for diatonic anyways...
Easttop desperately wants to be confused with Suzuki. Every curve on their product, and even finish color, like in this case screaming " I want to be G48"!!!...
