1896 Hohner Marine Band Harmonica C Harp
Instead of trying to imitate the sound of early 20th-century European folk and American delta blues, play it to a tee on this blues C major harmonica. Named for the year it was patented, the Hohner 1896 Marine Band is virtually the same now as it was over 125 years ago, making it a living, breathing piece of music history. The brass reed plates and nickel-plated covers are still held in place with nails; they combine with a pearwood comb and side openings for an authentic sound, look and feel.
This Richter-tuned diatonic Hohner harmonica in C is ideal for playing G blues or adding soulful solos to rock, folk and country. It comes in a protective case that is pure vintage down to the image of the U.S. Marine Band. The Hohner no. 1896 is available in all other major and minor harmonica keys; use the drop-down menu or contact us for more information.
