Query: Very poor instrument

I've been playing the harmonica for years, and I bought a bunch of these to give out as Christmas presents to my friends' kids (mostly to be cruel to my friends). Of course I had to break out one of them and give it a try myself. They have the same exact body style as an Old Standby, so I thought maybe it was a pretty good buy... until I tried playing it! They're just awful; the tones are flat, the draw and blow characteristics are terrible (lots of air escaping), and even though you can bend on them they just sound terrible. I don't think these things are worthy of an eight year old beginner, much less anybody who really wants to play it! Spend a little more money on an Old Standby, or better still a Special 20, if you're even the least bit serious about getting a real instrument.
