(More customer reviews)Unless you just got a job gigging with a regularly working band as the full-time harp player and need room for 20 blues harps and a bullet mic. and a place to carry it, I suggest starting small and going with something less costly, and more functional as a harp case like the Hohner DC-12. This well-intentioned Musicians Gear electric harp kit comes with two lined, detachable trays which are not very well designed as they don't hold the harps in place in any type of accessible position and unless you have each tray full to its capacity, there is no friction to hold the harps in place; so they are allowed to slide and move and bang up against each other en route to your gig or practice session. Even if you're a semi-pro, you probably don't need space for any more than 8-10 harps in different keys. So this case is way overkill with no real stabilizing function for your valuable harps. The mic is the other disappointment. Not really dirty enough to be classified a "blues blaster". I've been able to get better sounds from the regular vocal mics like Shure, etc. Sound wise, seems like the main thing is the amp that you're playing through. So I bought this case and its contents, was disappointed with its lack of harp holding protection, was disappointed with the mic. and felt that I'd need to purchase a dirty tube amp to justify its purchase. So then, I started looking for small, portable tube amps. Then I caught myself. "Hey, wait a minute" I thought. "I started out looking for a good, affordable case that will hold and protect my small selection of A - G key harmonicas. Here I've spent almost $130, and now I am about to spend another $150-$300 on an amp and I still don't have the harp-holding-and-protecting case that I'd set out to purchase in the first place." So I sent the whole kit and caboodle back for a refund and purchased the Hohner DC-12. Yeah, it's a cheaply made Chinese piece of crap, but at least its foam cut-outs allow for the safe transportation and protection of the harps that I have. If I get a gig with the HooDooBlues band and go on tour, then I'll upgrade to something bigger and better. Later.
