Description
The Marine Band 1896 has been around since the birth of the blues. It is known as the go-to harp for big names like Bob Dylan and Paul Butterfield, and as a diatonic harmonica, it is one of the best in the business.One wouldn’t be faulted for calling this the godfather of all harmonicas. If that’s not enough reason to own one, then consider the beautiful, timeless, wailing sound it produces. Plus, it is a well-built diatonic harp, which means it is perfect for beginners.
Measuring in at 12.7cm (5 inches) lengthwise, the Hohner Marine Band Blues Harp has been many a musician’s favorite throughout the history of blues music. Its signature wailing sound is a result of perfectly-integrated Richter tuning and undivided air channels, which allow for comfortable overblowing and note-bending. In other words, the Marine Band Blues is the instrument behind the classic western harmonica sound. That’s a huge reputation!
