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.

Hohner Thunderbird Marine Band Low G harmonica
Wrote the following about Hohner Thunderbird Marine Band Low G harmonica
Behalve de scherpe prijs en snelle levering ook nog een kwalitatief zeer goede mondharmonica van Hohner.
Erg warme klanken door de nieuw ontworpen basis van drie keer gelakte bamboe en de "Low G" natuurlijk een zeer welkome aanvulling op de mogelijkheden met een mondharmonica.
Let's blow up a storm met deze Thunderbird !
