General

With over 150 years of experience, Hohner has gained quite a bit of renown, especially when it comes to harmonicas. However, even before accruing all that experience they already proved their worth by releasing the Marine Band Classic harmonica, which has been a top contender since 1896! What's more, its design and sound have remained unchanged since then. It's still the same great instrument, that's made with the same love and care. Many professional harmonica players still choose the familiar classic, and it's been featured on works by Bob Dylan, Paul Butterfield and Little Walter, for instance.

The Marine Band Classic A

You can recognise this harmonica from its rich tone, its musical range and the distinctive pearwood comb, that gives the Marine Band a warm core sound. This model is tuned to A, which is a key that's commonly used for playing songs in E. It features a pearwood comb and mouthpiece, a brass reedplate and reeds, and stainless steel cover plates.

Hohner quality

The Hohner brand has been synonymous with high-quality products for over 150 years now, and the Marine Band Classic does nothing to harm that reputation. This beautiful instrument, which is still crafted and tuned by hand, truly lives up to the legacy.

Ik heb wederom 2 Hohner Marine Band Classic besteld, deze bevallen mij super goed. Deze hebben een lekkere warme klank. Ik ben er zeer tevreden over. Ik hoef dan ook geen andere meer. En ze waren er natuurlijk weer super snel. Bedankt Bax-Shop voor deze super service. Ga zo door!

Ik heb ook een Hohner Crossover, maar ik blijf naar de "Classic" teruggrijpen om zijn toon, volume en bespeelbaarheid. De bends op draw 1, 2 en 3 gaan prima. Er is niks mis met dit instrument, tenzij de moeilijke demontage vanwege de nagels die de 'sandwich' bij elkaar houden. Ik overweeg om er een hele reeks in verschillende keys van aan te schaffen en de duurdere modellen links te laten liggen.

Mooie harmonica. Kreeg hem in perfecte staat thuisgestuurd. Het buigen van noten is na een beetje oefenen relatief eenvoudig op deze harmonica. Echt een goede voor zowel beginners als gevorderde spelers!
