A good harmonica

I bought it to start my customization training. After changing the comb, embossing, tuning and reed gaping it is playing like a charm. The quality OTB it is good too, if you like the rough wood comb.

Still good after all these years!

Marine Bands have been around for ever and are simply the classic Blues Harps. They bend easily, have responsive reeds and produce plenty of volume.

As the reeds are very responsive they are also great for quieter folk music - which I mainly play these days.

Marine Bands are not necessarily the easiest for beginners though. They are smaller than some other models which can make hitting single notes difficult when you are just starting out, and they do benefit from being broken in gently.

The older models had uncoated wooden combs which could swell quite badly and cut the unwary players lips, but Hohner are now coating the wood so this should not longer be a problem.

A highly recommended harp!

Very nice harp for little money. Excellently manufactured and a nice handling for a beginner.
An advantage for maintenance is that she cover plates are fixed with screws.
The sound is nice, it makes a warm tone and is easy to bend.
I would recommend this harp especially to people who look for the sound of Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash.

Good for a beginner

Ian T., 14.05.2013

I bought this to learn on as I have always wanted to learn to play harp and guitar at the same time like Neil Young. I find it quite easy to use and would definately reccomend it to anyone wanting to learn.
