The Hohner Marine Band Harmonica has been around since the early days of blues music. It's made with a wood comb, which is the part that holds the reed plates together. The reed plates are what vibrate and make sound when you blow or draw air. This model has brass reeds, which help it sound bright and clear. The cover plates are made of metal, helping your hands shape the sound in different ways. This harmonica is famous for its rich tone and sturdy build. Artists like Little Walter and Bob Dylan used this model to create songs people still listen to today. Every unit comes with a carrying case and 30 days of free online lessons to help new players get started.
