Hohner Meisterklasse MS E harmonica

General

The diatonic harmonica with the best quality. That's how this Meisterklasse MS from Hohner is known. It possesses a powerful and clear sound and is neatly finished. The ergonomic covers cover the entire length and are finely smooth. This makes the harmonica lie nicely in the hang and look good. The comb of the Meister Class MS is made of grey aluminium, as is the mouthpiece. The tuning plate is made of nickel and 20 copper reeds are attached to it. The covers of the Meisterklasse MS are made of chrome, which gives the harmonica a fresh look and a robust body. This example of the Meisterklasse MS is tuned in E. This key is common when you want to play along with music in B.

The Hohner MS series

The famous German brand Hohner has selected five harmonicas and put them together in one series. This quintet consists of: the Blues Harp MS, the Big River MS, the Pro Harp MS, the JJ Milteau Deep Blues MS and, finally, the Meisterklasse MS. The latter is clearly the best and most durable harmonica in the series. MS in this series stands for 'Modular System', meaning that all parts (tuning plate, covers and comb) are replaceable. This can be a nice option to put together your own harmonica that way and create your own sound, but it is also useful if a part on the Meisterklasse MS breaks down or gets damaged. However, the chances of this happening are very minimal, as Hohner ensures that all harmonicas are assembled and tuned by hand with care and extreme precision.
