Hohner CX-12 B harmonica

General

The CX-12 is probably the most revolutionary chromatic harmonica available, a real game changer. Its modern design is characterised by round shapes, matte black colour and a revolutionary sound. Indeed, hidden within the modern casing are 48 brass reeds that produce a brilliant sound. You operate the reeds via the round holes in the airtight mouthpiece made of ABS (a very sturdy plastic). The 48 tones within 3 octaves give you lots of possibilities, especially as all 48 tones are quite easy to create by zigzag slide construction. In fact, you can easily raise a tone by half a note with the slide. The CX-12 B is tuned in B major.

The design of the CX-12: Innovative and ergonomic

The CX-12's design has won an award, so it gets the appreciation it deserves on all fronts. With the CX-12, you can get into multiple styles of music, as its brilliant tone fits well with jazz and blues as well as folk and rock. Thanks to the use of ABS, the harmonica is very durable and continues to function perfectly under different temperatures, for example. The fast response is caused by the way the reeds and comb are attached behind the mouthpiece. This is because this mouthpiece is made as airtight as possible, so all air is conducted directly to the tongues. For beginners, this is an ideal feature, as the CX-12 does exactly what you want!
