General

The Marine Band Classic, the choice of many professional harmonica players since 1896. Played by the likes of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, it has been around for a century. Hohner specifically chose not to change the Marine Band, because in a winning team, you shouldn't change.

The success of the Marine Band

It all started in 1896. The Marine Band came on the market and was immediately a huge success. At the time, it was mainly used for blues and folk music, but today (almost 120 years later), it can be heard in music styles from rock to country and folk to jazz. The great thing about the Marine Band is that anyone can play on it, whether you are just starting out, advanced or even professional, everyone can enjoy this great instrument in their own way, which is relatively easy to start with as a beginner.

Quality of Hohner

The now world-famous German brand existed exactly 150 years in 2007. In that time, Hohner has gained a lot of knowledge and experience and brought brilliant harmonicas to the market, all with unique features and qualities. The Marine Band is actually a universal harmonica and perfectly suited to most styles of music. This one is tuned in the key of F. This key is often used to play along with music in C. Hohner knows how to keep its good name by delivering top products time and again. These products are still assembled and tuned by hand. This is because Hohner believes that it is not possible to deliver a good harmonica that is assembled by machine.

The materials used for the Marine Band Classic F

Hohner has once again chosen the best materials for this Marine Band Classic, and this is certainly noticeable, both while playing and while listening. The comb of this harmonica consists of pearwood, which provides those warm tones you are looking for in a genuine Marine Band. This comb, like the mouthpiece which is also made of pearwood, is extra well lacquered. The tuning plates and tongues are brass and copper respectively, for fine resonance. Finally, the covers of the Marine Band are made of stainless steel. With this group of materials combined with over 150 years of knowledge and experience, Hohner guarantees you a great harmonica, with brilliant and clear tones, rich chords and a long lifespan. Let the Marine Band extend its history and enjoy this instrument.
