In addition to the standard Richter harmonicas, Hohner offers a range of special models whose characteristics are particularly suited to certain playing styles or techniques.
Diatonic vs. Chromatic Diatonic harmonicas contain only 7 notes over several octaves with a special layout that allows easy chord production by blowing and inhaling. With the interaction of the blown and aspirated reeds in each channel, these harmonicas allow for the alteration of certain notes, creating the characteristic plaintive effect of the blues while providing the chromatic notes missing on a diatonic instrument.
Progressive Series Pioneers such as Howard Levy, Carlos Del Junco, mavericks such as Mariano Massolo, the dynamic Rachelle Plas or the young virtuoso Konstantin Reinfield, all play on models from the Progressive series.
Golden Melody The Golden Melody Progressive, the only professional Hohner diatonic harmonica tuned to equal temperament, features an innovative new design to optimise its grip, stability and tightness. While retaining the warm tone that has made it a favourite of harmonica players in many different styles, the new Golden Melody Progressive thus offers a fuller, more powerful sound combined with optimum playing comfort, grip and handling.
