General

The original Marine Band, first launched in 1896, is still sold today. Hohner has added a few more variants to the Marine Band series, including this Marine Band 24. A Marine Band Classic has 10 blowholes, but this Marine Band 24 has 12, giving it a range of 24 notes. An extended diatonic harmonica with even more musical possibilities than its little brother. The four extra notes are added from the top, so these are the highest notes.

The materials used

Hohner always uses the best materials for its harmonicas, which together ensure great results. With all its experience, the German harmonica giant knows better than anyone else which materials to use to create the wonderfully warm and raw sound so typical of Marine Band harmonicas. The cover plates are made of stainless steel. These are designed in a way that they reproduce the most beautiful sound and sit best in the hand. The comb is made of pear, or pearwood. This is lacquered in a red colour. The lacquer also prevents the comb from swelling or shrinking because of moisture. This is where the warm sound comes from that appeals to many people. The tongues and tongue plates are made of brass.
