Hohner Marine Band - Thunderbird, F-LowLow

General

For over a century and a half, Hohner has been able to think and experiment in the search for the first good low-tuned harmonica. With success, as Hohner is the first to succeed in making such a product, namely this Marine Band Thunderbird. With the slogan "Blowin' up a storm!", the instrument was introduced to the general public. This harmonica is tuned in the key of low low F. This is mostly used to play along with music in Bb. With the Marine Band Thunderbird, you get those beautifully deep and low tones that you cannot achieve with an "ordinary" diatonic harmonica. Thanks to its elegant and classic design, you can appear on stage with pride when you hold the Marine Band Thunderbird in your hand.

Hohner, the best for over 150 years

The German harmonica giant knows better than anyone else what the professional harmonica player needs. For over a century and a half, Hohner has been in this field. The greatest success that Hohner still enjoys, it owes to the original Marine Band, which came on the market in 1896 and is still made the same way. This Marine Band Thunderbird is a variation of that model. It is specially made for bass, without negative effects like rattling tongues or weak volume. The Thunderbird possesses an updated tongue profile with deeper reeds and a revolutionary (triple-lacquered) bamboo comb. The latter is patented by Hohner itself. It provides nice volume and warm tones. Hohner has specially shaped the cover plates of this harmonica to prevent rattling of the reeds. The quality of a genuine Hohner is immediately noticeable, and so is this Marine Band Thunderbird, tuned in low low F.
