General

Hohner is undoubtedly one of the top, if not the best harmonica manufacturer in the world. For the past 150 years, the famous German brand has made millions of harmonica fans happy with products that are crafted with care and experience. Many professional harmonica players choose Hohner for their renowned high-quality instruments, including jazz legend Toots Thielemans.

Close Collaboration

These two harmonica authorities got together and developed two amazing harmonicas according to the wishes of Mr. Thielemans himself; the Hohner Toots Thielemans Mellow Tone and the Toots Thielemans Hard Bopper. The latter is recommended by Toots for more modern work, while the Mellow Tone is suitable for classical pieces and ballads.

Materials

In order to bring out Toots Thieleman's unique style, Hohner thought long and hard about the right materials to use for the Mellow Tone. This chromatic harmonica's comb is made of brown pear wood, which gives it its soft, warm tones, and is optimised for a better response. The plates and reeds are made of nickel and bronze respectively, and the mouthpiece is also nickel. The covers, on the other hand, are made of chrome. This combination of materials and its clever design make the Mellow Tone a perfect representation of Toots' pieces.

A Unique Instrument

Toots uses both the Mellow Tone chromatic harmonica and the Hard Bopper on a daily basis. Now, you too can play the music that made Toots famous, or any other jazz pieces, on this chromatic harmonica. It has an even shorter slide action, which makes switching tones easier and faster. This instrument's full, warm tones will surprise you time and time again, and every Toots Thielemans signature chromatic Mellow Tone has its own unique serial number.

Wrote the following about Hohner Toots Thielemans Mellow Tone Harmonica
Fantastische toon. Maar vrijwel onmogelijk voor en amateur om goed te verzorgen. Door veel vocht verbuigt de HOUTEN kam in het lage tonen bereik. Dan is hij vals en kun je hem weggooien. Lees ook het interview met Hermine Deurloo in NRC.

Een mondharmonica die de naam eer aan doet. Heel veel mogelijkheden.

Prima harmonica, perfecte klank en zeer goed bespeelbaar.

Kleine bemerking : de plastic folie waarin de harmonica zelf verpakt is in het doosje was volledig verscheurd en reeds geopend. Voor een "mond"-harmonica vind ik dat om hygiënische redenen niet kunnen. De harmonica zelf... een echte aanrader!

Een fantastische mondharmonica dat de eer aan Toots Thielemans terecht toedoet. Ontzagelijke mogelijkheden tot improvisatie voor de meeste soorten muziek. Eerste klas materiaal.
