Harmonicas are not returnable
Sorry, harmonicas cannot be returned, so please call if you'd like help choosing.
This tuning is great for blues and rock numbers in minor keys and is also very good for minor key reggae numbers, or similar spacey groove music. In general, natural minor harps have a very bluesy, soulful sound that's perfect for playing minor blues, rock, country, reggae, pop, and jazz. Natural minors are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow) style. In cross harp, many of the draw notes can be bent, allowing for a much more expressive, fluid style of playing. In addition, cross harp is a very popular style used by most players for today's music.
Please be aware that due to the recent packaging change by Hohner, some keys may still be available in the previous packaging, depending on current stock levels;
The Hohner Marine Band is a number-one choice among top professionals and one of the most recognizable harmonicas all over the world. Known for its full tone, wood comb, and patented cover plates, this harmonica was there when harmonica blues was born.
Hohner is a family company founded in 1857 in Trossingen, Germany by Matthias Hohner. Hand-made quality and close attention to detail have set Hohner apart from the beginning. A top leading brand in harmonicas, Hohner harps are distributed worldwide. Hohner harmonicas are played on the street by buskers, in intimate nightclubs, on festival stages, and even in Carnegie Hall.

Cover plates were not aligned properly, stuck reed on the 5 hole draw; unable to make adjustments/repairs as the 1896 has nails instead of screws....
