General

In 1896, the first Marine Band was presented to the public. It was an instant and resounding success. The music world would change from then on, and we have Hohner to thank for that. Hohner, the largest harmonica manufacturer in the world has been around for over 150 years when it comes to top-quality harmonicas. With the Marine Band, they have definitely made their way into the hearts of many music lovers and well-known artists. An instrument with a huge influence on contemporary music and still immensely popular. Never change in a winning team, and neither did Hohner. After 120 years, it still doesn't.

The best harmonica ever?

It is always debatable whether something is good, or even the best of its kind. However, the Marine Band comes very close. Of course, each person's opinion of a particular instrument and what plays nicely varies. A harmonica can also be placed in the 'feeling instruments' category. If it feels good, the sound is good and you can play it well, then you have a good harmonica. On the other hand, Hohner knows exactly what you want as a harmonica player, what you want to hear and how they can make the harmonica playable for everyone. If we are to believe the claims of the many artists who still use it every day, the Marine Band Classic is indeed the best diatonic harmonica at the moment.

The Marine Band Classic Eb

This harmonica consists of a well-insulated, lacquered pearwood comb, combined with a tuning plate and tongues made of copper. The covers are made of stainless steel. These are neatly finished with fine prints of Hohner and Marine Band. The instrument delivers a warm, raw sound, whose tones bend easily. Music styles such as rock, blues, pop, soul, jazz and country are well suited to this model. This Marine Band Classic is tuned in the key of Eb. This gives you a perfect crossharp for music in the key of Bb. For over a century, this harmonica has been travelling around the world. You can continue the history of the Marine Band.
