Nice, Deep Tone - Very Sensitive
This juicer is very bassy, with wonderfully pure tone, which is what I was after. Mine is about 23 cents higher than G#1. You might be able to take it up to an A by filing the sharp tips a wee little bit. I'm not that finicky, though.This harp has more range, sensitivity, and volume than many others. The cost for these is going to be speed and learning curve. You will need to have good form in how you mount it and at plucking perfectly straight. So, for a very beginner, maybe not the best, unless you can learn those things quickly. Also, it is not going to allow for great speed, but you can make up for that in technique, because it is so sensitive to your breath/tongue abilities.The reed/tongue is soft and very flexable. It is filed with sharp edges and aligned very well in the arms of the frame, with very little gap and on the same plane as the edges of the arms. Again, that is going to be less forgiving when you pluck at a slight angle, but if you can learn to pluck it right, this thing is going to give you voices others could not even approach. So don't let this scare you off... you should be learning that, anyway, and the worst that happens is a buzz or clack from hitting the frame or your teeth. That actually serves to remind you pretty quickly to re-adjust yourself. The soft play will not fatigue you while you are learning, either. Just relax and go with it, when you feel it. This is a great juicer for meditative playing, really.It has a spiral loop trigger, which makes for plucking inwards and outwards more comfortable, though again great plucking speed will not be possible. The arms are milled out on the back and the mill work seems very accurate.Mine did not come rusty and was packed fairly well with some foam on one side. (It seems like they are listening to reviews and adjusting, which is great.) I wish they offered a custom case for the Lighthouse, but I work wood and leather and it should not be too hard to come up with something. I like that it is so flat and thin. I believe one of those old BSA camping combs that came in the pleather sleeve would probably even work out for a while.Anyway, I hope that helps someone.

Unique sound well crafted.
Highly recommend if your looking for a lower frequency sound. It hits a little different and it's nice and loud. It may be a little difficult for a beginner because of the tight clearance. As long as you pluck the tongue straight and true then you shouldn't have issues. This is only my second jaw harp I've owned and the quality and craftsmanship of this one is alot better. It worked perfectly 1st strike with no adjustments made. Will be getting my next one from the same maker for sure.

Good sound but clearance isn't great
The media could not be loaded. Pros: elegant design and great soundCons:If you look closely at the photo you can tell that the tongue is not perfectly centered on the body this causes the tongue to hit the body quite frequently on the one side. In addition to the tongue has a slight serration on that side. Which cut my lip on first use.

Absolutely amazing.
A great product for a cheap price, it’s simply beautiful the craftsmanship on this is great the precision on the reed is insane. Its pretty simple to play very functional and a great size.

Good so far
I got a cheap snoopy harp at first and it legitimately didn't work, so I was a little demotivated. Luckily I gave it another shot and got this one. I've only had it for a day so I can't vouch for it's durability yet but it's an amazing sounding, easy to play instrument that's the perfect size to carry around in my pocket. No problems so far.Update:It's been like 6 months and it's still playing good as ever. Put it through the ringer and still no rust or decline in quality. First and probably only review but thank you for the quality product in a market where the biggest vendor of the instrument sells nonfunctional "toys" to scam kids.
