Hohner - HarmonicaAlongside standard Richter harmonicas, Hohner offers a whole range of special models whose features are particularly suited to certain styles or playing techniques.
Diatonic vs Chromatic
Diatonic harmonicas contain only 7 notes over several octaves with a specific layout that allows easy chord production by blowing and drawing. With the interaction of the blow reed and draw reed in each chamber, these harmonicas enable bending of certain notes, creating the characteristic plaintive blues effect while providing the missing chromatic notes on a diatonic instrument.
Marine Band Series
The Marine Band series is legendary with its wooden comb and sandwich construction.
Marine Band Deluxe
Back to basics - at the cutting edge of technology - HOHNER is characterized by a constant commitment to innovation to improve its existing product lines. For over a century, the Marine Band 1896 has been or was the preferred harmonica of artists like Kim Wilson, Mickey Raphael, Little Walter Jacobs, Paul Butterfield, and both Sonny Boy Williamsons. The Marine Band Deluxe targets demanding professionals as well as all musicians seeking a unique and incomparable sound. The Deluxe combines the strengths of its legendary predecessor with a host of state-of-the-art improvements: improved cover plate design to increase playing volume and provide a better grip, screw assembly (three for the reed plates, four for the covers) for maximum airtightness and easier maintenance, varnished pearwood comb. This Richter diatonic harmonica also offers a faster response without compromising the power and richness of the traditional HOHNER sound.
