For my 2 cents, the 1923 isn't a bad harmonica. It is pretty and has good
features. However, they don't seem to like me. Of all of the harmonica
models I have ever tried, they have died on me the fastest. Most harmonicas
last at least a year for me. Many last for many years. These die within a
couple of months, and I have never quite resolved why.
Being a bluegrass player (melody and position/mode oriented), I was never
that fond of the tuning either (the flat 5), but I wanted to give it a fair
trial anyway. To me, the tuning with the flat 5 hole was stronger (worse)
than any of my 1970's Marine Bands ever were. The 1923 was the first
harmonica I had ever played that sounded that "out" to me right out of the
box (by design). However, many people really like it and they loved the
instrument as a whole. It is not a bad harmonica. It just isn't one that I
need to be playing.
