The Crossover harmonica? What to say other than WoW!

Harmonica Jones, 27.05.2011

What to say other than WoW!
The must of the diatonic harmonica finally realized and within reach of all!
I am a professional harmonicist, I played on many models until I stop on the Blues Harp MS, deceived to be able to be well on the traditional Marine Band, which, at the time, had a finish too sloppy for my taste (at the level of the blades I specify).
I need an instrument that meets my game perfectly: at the same time very acoustic but capable of generating a natural saturation, which characterizes my style. Moreover, being not a "big blower" as they say in the jargon of the profession, I needed a flexible instrument but, blues player, I needed the incisive sound of the Marine Band without its rigidity! Bet successful, thank you Hohner!
A very important detail also for me is the material used: bamboo!
Two reasons for this:
I like playing only on wood (although sometimes I use plastic springs like the "special 20" which is also a small wonder).
Given the number of harmonicas that I carry in my suitcase, (at least 30) it is fast weight! Outside, thanks to the bamboo, the weight is reduced to 2/3 !!!
The mouth is a treat, it slips by itself!
And price, thanks to Thomann, it is really affordable! Thank you !!!

Noticeable progress

I've been playing (blues) harp for 40 years. At that time, the (by Hohner) cost DM 7.50 apiece. In the late '80s, I bought a complete set of Hohner "master class", which was too quiet for me at some point. Since 2004, I have tried different models of Suzuki, which I felt then as louder and more reliable. You did not have to readjust so much, which is still difficult for me today. But the sound is not like a Hohner. The new Marine Band Crossover is now a hit for me: sounds like Hohner, is loud and does not need to be readjusted.
