Hohner Marine Band 1896 Classic – diatonic harmonica with pearwood comb (10 holes, brass reeds, 3 octaves)

The legendary blues sound of a true icon

With the Hohner Marine Band Classic you hold a genuine legend in your hands. Built almost unchanged since 1896, this diatonic harmonica shaped the sound of countless classic blues recordings. Whether you are a beginner looking for your first blues harp or an experienced player who insists on the original, the Marine Band delivers the warm, powerful tone that made it famous around the world.

Pear wood comb for the warm original sound

At its heart is a comb made of double-lacquered pear wood. Wood resonates differently from plastic or metal and gives the tone its characteristic warmth and depth. The double lacquer reduces swelling and ensures comfortable lip feel while playing.

Traditional build with stainless steel covers

The arched stainless steel covers with their side openings shape the unmistakable, open Marine Band sound. Reed plates and covers are nailed in the traditional way – exactly as they were at launch. The 0.9 mm brass reed plates allow expressive bends and a full response.
