General

The Hohner Unsere Lieblinge 48 has a beautiful, classic sound that is reminiscent of old German folk songs. As such, it has been popular with young and old for generations.

True Hohner quality

The renowned German brand has been around for over 150 years, and knows better than anyone what they want a certain harmonica or series of harmonicas to achieve. For instance, the Unsere Lieblinge is excellently suited for folk music - its classic sound will take you back to the age of the old German folk songs. Furthermore, this harmonica features 2-voice Wiener octave tuning, manually tuned by the experts at Hohner. The low and high notes are exactly one octave apart. Unsere Lieblinge features a rich, powerful sound, and it has been shaped to allow for comfortable playing, even for extended periods of time.

Technological characteristics

The Hohner Unsere Lieblinge has 48 brass reeds that vibrate when you blow into the harmonica, resulting in a musical note. However, there is more to it than just that, as the rest of the harmonica's body also has an effect on its sound. Every wood type used, every shape and composition has its own acoustic properties. For instance, this tremolo harmonica features a comb made of maple for a warm yet bright sound. The reed plate is made of brass, just like the reeds, while the covers are made of stainless steel. This combination of materials allows for Unsere Lieblinge's beautiful sound.
