HOHNER MARINE BAND HARMONICA 1896 TONE C

Hohner Reference: M1896017

THE ORIGINAL HARMONIC FOR THE BLUES

The Marine Band 1896 is the archetypal blues harmonica. Almost unchanged since it was patented in 1896, this iconic instrument embodies true, deep blues like no other and is the benchmark against which all others are measured.

It's the sound of broken hearts and all-night dancing, of endless prayers and sweet nightclubs. Unlike any other harmonica, the Marine Band 1896 is an invitation to express yourself through music, a key to unlocking creativity.
