General
Hohner's Marine Band Thunderbird is the first of its kind and has a beautiful, resistant volume and an ultra-fast response without that unpleasant 'reed rattle' phenomenon. It's a diatonic harmonica, tuned to a low G, which makes it ideal for playing along to music in the key of D. It's an extremely elegant instrument with a classic design. In short, Hohner's Marine Band Thunderbird has everything you need to radiate class and style as you play those gorgeous, deep tones.
True Hohner quality
How did Hohner successfully develop such a good low-tuned harmonica, you ask? With over 150 years of experience in designing and manufacturing harmonicas, the German brand knows a thing or two about quality. The original Marine Band was made in 1896, and is still manufactured the same way today. They have a patent on the Marine Band's bamboo comb, which is what allows those low tones to really stand out. The resistant volume is supported by the deeply set reeds and new reed profiles, ensuring more room for them to resonate, effectively preventing 'reed rattling'. The covers of the Marine band Thunderbird are fastened with four Phillips crews to the comb, so you can easily remove them for easy maintenance or fine-tuning.
