According to the Guinness Book of Records, the HOHNER Chord 48 is the largest harmonica in the world. Consisting of two separate instruments joined by hinges at the ends, it offers a total of 48 chords including all major, minor, 7th, diminished and augmented chords in 4-part octave voicings. Thanks to the revolutionary modular construction, each chord is located on its own separately mounted reed plate, permitting individual placement as desired. Furthermore, the lower of each pair of octave-tuned reeds is located on the inner rows of the instrument, thus enabling balanced microphoning and accentuating the bass. Designed by professionals for professionals, the Chord 48 is the most versatile chord harmonica on the market today.
