Hohner Thunderbird Marine Band Low Eb harmonica

General

The Marine Band Thunderbird revolutionised the world of low-pitched harmonicas. In fact, this harmonica was the first to really succeed. Hohner was the first to succeed in making a low-tuned harmonica with a high and resistant volume, a fast response without rattling tongues. Thanks to the redesigned tongue profiles, even the lowest notes give a fast response when you play the Thunderbird. In addition, Hohner has patented the comb. This one is special because it consists of bamboo wood and is lacquered three times. The natural material ensures beautiful resonance and warm tones. Hohner can be proud of yet another great instrument.

Beautiful, easy and durable

So this Marine Band Thunderbird was there first harmonica with a bamboo comb and new tongue profiles, but it is also very accessible. This is because the cover plates are attached to the comb by four Phillips-head (Philips) screws, which you can remove with the greatest of ease, leaving the harmonica ready for servicing. Fine-tuning or cleaning becomes a piece of cake. When you are done with this, you can reattach the covers with the screws.

Very precise German craftsmanship characterises the quality of these instruments.
