General

All over the world, Hohner's Marine Band harmonica is well known. Throughout the 20th century, this model was used for countless records, films and television series. Today, there are a few different models, including the Marine Band Crossover. A special feature of this model is that the comb is made of bamboo, which makes the harmonica sound particularly clear. This wood is also laminated, making it impervious to moisture and thus unable to shrink or swell. The construction is very airtight, has a fast response and can be used with any dynamics. As a result, it can be used for both acoustic and amplified playing. This model is tuned in the key of D.

Other materials

The tuning plates in this harmonica are made of 0.9 mm thick brass and have 20 reeds together. Stainless steel has been chosen for the cover plates, in which an attractive Crossover logo has been inserted. Rounded edges on all parts enhance playing pleasure. The modern compromise tuning ensures that single notes sound good, but also chords come across as full. This makes the instrument suitable for a variety of musical styles, from blues to jazz, rock, soul and funk. Not for nothing the choice of various professionals.
