A harmonica's core is of the utmost importance, as it determines the instrument's sound to a great extent. Hohner's patent application of January 30th, 1896 features a number of remarkable attributes. This harmonica's comb is made of pear wood, ensuring a warm sound with plenty of resonance. To prevent it from swelling or shrinking over time, the comb was properly lacquered and isolated inside the harmonica. To provide the world's most famous diatonic harmonica with a stable base, twenty copper reeds are attached to a copper reed plate. This construction is not only rugged and flexible, but also allows for raw tones that can easily be bent. To make your sound slightly more rounded and to add more warmth, Hohner has given the Marine Band Classic stainless steel covers with stylish Hohner and Marine Band prints.
