Hohner Chromonica 48 C Harmonica

General

With the beautiful Hohner Chromonica 48's impressive range, you'll be able to play notes that were simply out of reach before. As you might have guessed from its name, the Chromonica 48 is a chromatic harmonica that allows you to play every note and genre you want with all the expression you need, thanks to the fabulously designed slide. A chromatic harmonica is suitable for virtually any genre. Take soul or pop music for instance, and think of Stevie Wonder playing a chromatic harmonica, or styles like blues and jazz, in which Toots Thielemans was particularly popular. You don't need any advanced playing techniques to raise your pitch by half a note, you simply press the slide - the possibilities are almost endless! Finally, thanks to its pearwood comb, the Chromonica offers a warm sound with beautifully clear tones.
