The Golden Melody: retro design, great sound

The first thing you'll probably notice about this harmonica is its rounded corners. At the same time, this Golden Melody has convex covers that ensure a good grip while playing. What's more, it has a rounded mouthpiece, which also enhances playability and makes techniques like Bending and overblowing even easier. The mouthpiece is fashioned from smooth ABS plastic, which means you can play it for ages without fatiguing your lips! The Golden Melody's comb is an extension of the mouthpiece and therefore also made of ABS in a cheerful bright red colour. This detail is reminiscent of the trends from the '50s era. The tuning plates and twenty reeds are made of brass, and the stainless-steel convex covers are finished in the decorative style Hohner is known for. These materials combine well together to deliver a bright, warm, rounded tone and rich chords. After almost six decades, it's still the best in its class: the Hohner Golden Melody harmonica in A.
