Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I cashed in my 401K to buy this set, I thought that Bob Dylan would arrive with this box of seven harmonicas under his arm and perform "Blowin' in the Wind" at my son's wedding. That is why I ponied up for next day shipping. Not only did Bob Dylan not appear, but all you get is seven used harmonicas with writing on them inside a nice box. I repeat, these harmonicas are not new! They have been used! Bob Dylan's spit is in them. I mean, really! I love Bob Dylan, but how un-hygienic! Ick!
