Hohner Echo Harp 56 96 CG harmonica

General

The Echo Harp 56 was first sold in 1925, and hasn't really seen any major changes since. That way, Hohner manages to keep this piece of history intact. The Echo Harp has become a mainstay of many different styles of music from all over the world. For instance, it features heavily in Irish and Scottish folk music, Latin American music and country music. Hohner describes the sound of the Echo Harp like that of an accordion in a French cafe. When you pick up this particular model, you may notice that it is playable on both sides. Each of these sides is tuned in a different key: C and G, respectively

A unique tremolo harmonica

The Echo Harp is a tremolo harmonica, which means it has two rows of 48 holes (in case, on both sides of the instrument). When you blow into the harmonica, the Echo Harp will produce two notes that are slightly different, so that it creates a beautiful vibration. Furthermore, thanks to the maple comb, these notes have beautifully warm undertones. The Echo Harp 56's mouthpiece is also made of maple, while its covers are made of stainless steel, and its reeds are made of brass. That particular combination of materials ensures the Echo Harp 56 is a high-quality harmonica, and it's crafted with great care and eye for detail. Hohner has done everything in their power to ensure you get the best possible instrument. The Echo Harp 56 is carefully checked multiple times during production, and carefully tuned by hand.
