Tweak it
twentyfortysix 11.04.2020
Cons:
When you get it it is not in tune, it is ±5cents on every read which is fine for me, I don't mind that much.
The playability is not the best when you get it. You'll see your self, the higher note are unreachable and the bottom notes too, the rest might be bit unresponsive, or not easy to be played.

Pros:
Fortunately it is a harmonica a living instrument and can be fixed easy. You bend the reeds a bit and if you are into perfect tuning you can even brush them here or there a bit and you might be in "tune" for a while.
I think the harmonica should be sold with a set of Windsavers as you bend them pretty quick and will rush to buy them soon – they are hell expensive for what they are.

Once you tweak it to your liking – the whole process is super easy to do thanks to the fast disassembly which is one of the killing features on this Harmonica, you gonna like it.
I mean I do ;)
At the end the harmonica is easy to be played on every hole. It's easy to clean, weird enough I prefer the plastic in my mouth more than a cold metal, but that might be just me, the rounded holes are also nice little detail.
The tone might be richer, but I guess for the money you pay is more than perfect.

I do not understand why they sell it in that bulky plastic box, it is unusable. Something smaller that helps us to cary the Harmonica on the way will be much better, the box on its own is just material waste ..anyway.

Hohner CX 12

I really like my new Hohner. It has a sweet sound already and I am just a beginner. the colour (matt black) is very macho...for a harmonica and made m laugh when I opened it.
the response of lower notes is a bit patchy but that maybe because I am a beginner or that the reeds need to soften up? Not sure but its a keeper!

Unboxing day: From unpleasant to happy
Yurichar 28.02.2023
First impression was very unpleasant: box opened somehow during shipment, and one small rubber part of slide mechanism wasn't on its place. There was a lot of air loss while playing. It took me 1 hour to understand what's wrong, but then I managed to put that tiny rubber thing to its place. So all good now! Airtight. Just two highest notes responding badly but that could be me, I probably need to study how to play them properly.
Box is huge, it could be much smaller for this harmonica.
Sound is good.
Tuning 440 Hz.
