The Hohner Big River Harp
The name of the Big River Harp harmonica refers to the sound heard all along the Mississippi at the turn of the 20th century. In fact, it was on the edges of the Big River where the foundation of today's pop music was built, and we all know that just a handful of harmonica notes can turn songs straight into soul-felt blues. To do just that, this particular example features a durable plastic comb, copper reeds and reed plates, and stainless steel covers.
Steve Barker
The included lesson book is written by one of world's best harmonica players of our time. Steve Barker grew up in London, relocated to Germany at the end of the 1970s and has been playing professionally since 1975. While he's also mastered styles country, folk, funk and jazz, it's the blues that rightfully earned Barker his eminence. Here, Hohner offer the unique opportunity to learn from the best.
