Hohner Marine Band Classic 1896 is the most famous harmonica from Hohner.
Like no other harmonica, the Marine Band 1896 is an invitation to express yourself in music, a key to unlock your creativity.
THE ORIGINAL BLUES HARMONICA
The Marine Band 1896 is the archetypal blues harmonica. Almost unchanged since it was patented in 1896, this iconic instrument embodies the real deep blues like no other and is the benchmark against which all others are judged. Initially designed for European folk music, it quickly became a prominent voice of American blues of the early 20th century, played by all harmonica players of this era. It’s the soundtrack of broken hearts and dancing all night, of endless prairies and sweaty nightclubs. Like no other harmonica, the Marine Band 1896 is an invitation to express yourself in music, a key to unlock your creativity. When you discover this piece of living musical history, you won’t just play the blues. You’ll feel the blues.

I bought this Marine Band to replace a Blues Harp in A that I purchased from you several months ago. I had trouble playing the Blues Harp and I thought maybe I had damaged it. However, when I received this Marine Band and compared the two harps I noticed that they did not sound like they were in the same tuning, even though they were both \"A\" harps.
My tuner and my piano confirmed that the Marine Band was in A but the Blues Harp was in B. I would be happy to send you the Blues Harp to see for yourself that ii is not in A but in B.
What do you suggest?

PS. Happy with your speedy service.

I am very happy with these harmonicas. I bought one for each of our 8 grandchildren for Christmas and they were excited to get them. It is a fun instrument for children to get interested in. I just bought 3 more for relatives/friends and another for myself. Needless to say, I\'m hooked on harmonicas.
I am also very happy with Harmonicaland\'s prices and speed of service.

I ordered the Hohner Marine Band Classic in the Key of A. No matter what people say, the Marine Band Harmonica has the greatest sound, and Harmonicaland had easy fast service, and appropriately priced. Thanks HL!

I don\'t play, but I want to.
This was recommended as a good beginners harmonica.
I like the feel, and the tone.
Now I need lessons.
