Hohner Chromonica 48 C-tenor Harmonica

General

This C-tenor variant of the Chromonica harmonica has a range of 3 octaves (48 tones). The intense tones of the Chromonica are formed by 1.05 mm thick tuning plates, 48 brass reeds and a wooden comb. A slide construction allows you to adjust the tones even more to your liking. The round holes in the chrome-plated mouthpiece feel fine, and the instrument's nicely rounded edges also add to its comfort. The stainless steel plates on the top and bottom are beautifully crafted, giving the Chromonica 48 a classic look. This C-tenor variant is tuned an octave lower than the normal C-major variant and has a full sound in the lower tones, providing a nice contrast to the rest. A small storage box is included so that the harmonica remains better protected when you take it with you.

Chromonica 48

The Chomonica is the world's best-selling chromatic harmonica, and for good reason. Much of this success can be attributed to the use of the Super Chromonica for the well-known title tune of the western film "Once upon a time in the West. The unique sound is loved by many and the classic look of this harmonica completes it.
