Hohner Marine Band Deluxe Harmonica
For more than 100 years, the Marine Band has been the
favorite harmonica of artists like Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, Mickey
Raphael, and Kim Wilson. Ever since 1896, discerning professional harmonica
players in search of an unmistakable and unique sound have played the Hohner
Marine Band as their instrument of choice.
The Marine Band Deluxe Harmonica combines the features of the legendary
harmonica with a variety of state-of-the-art improvements, which can best be
described as a modified version of the Marine Band Classic.
In comparison, the Marine Band Deluxe optimizes all the great characteristics of
the original classic Marine Band in a player friendly harmonica. Hohner's goal
was to offer a contemporary ten hole diatonic with the long, successful history
players associate with the Marine Band legacy.
Hohner has developed state-of-the-art improvements, which include optimized
handling to ensure greater volume & faster response while retaining the richness
and power of the Hohner Classic Sound.
The reedplate covers have been opened up considerably in the back of the
harmonica and folded in a way as to make it very sturdy and hard to bend in when
grasping the harp in a playing manner. They are solid with extreme quality in
this respect.
By having the reedplate cover openings further off the comb you get better sound
projection, air flow over the reeds, as well as more resonance and sustain!
The covers are held on with 4 screws per cover.
