The thing with Oskars and Suzukis is that you can replace the reed plates when they are blown out. My first Suzuki blew out in a few months, but a replacement set of plates was the same price as a new Hohner. I ordered them by phone at 4pm, and they were on my door mat at 8.30am the next day. That's service!

Incidentally, I've got an old Super Vamper, it's a 12 hole, with red wood. It's still in tune after 30 years.
