General
A real Hohner harmonica has an unmistakably authentic sound, is top-notch quality and built to last. That's also the case with the Echo Harp, which distinguishes itself from other harmonicas with the fact that it's actually two harmonicas - one is tuned to C and the other to G. You'll find two rows of holes on both the top and bottom of the Echo Harp. This harmonica produces a warm sound because the reeds that are located in the same place in those double rows deliver a slightly different tone. This type of harmonica with two rows of holes is called a tremolo harmonica. Hohner describes the sound of the Echo harp as 'an accordion in a French café', but is also quick to point out that it would sound just as great with Latin-American, Celtic, Irish Folk, gospel, or country music! The Echo Harp is a real globetrotter with a universal sound that hasn't been changed since 1925. It's a beautiful piece of history that is still warmly received and widely used in modern music.
150 years of German craftmanship
The Hohner factory is situated in Trossingen, a German city that was put on the map thanks to the famous manufacturer. The word 'factory' may remind you of a mass-producing warehouse, but nothing could be farther from the truth. For 150 years, Hohner has strived to produce the best harmonicas in the world, and they have succeeded. There are machines in the Hohner factory, but the most important part of the production process is human experience and know-how. Hohner's harmonicas are checked several times by hand, and are also tuned manually to ensure you the very best harmonica in the world.
