Hohner Marine Band Deluxe F harmonica

General

This beautiful Hohner Marine Band Deluxe, tuned to the key of F, is an improved version of the original Marine Band, which has been on the market since 1896. With over 1.5 centuries’ experience of these instruments, Hohner has once again produced a superb harmonica. The Marine Band Deluxe is a delight to the ears of both the player and the listener. The beautifully warm, bluesy tones will surprise you time and time again. Thanks to the redesigned cover plates, the Marine Band Deluxe sits comfortably in your hand, and the mouthpiece has also been improved for your benefit. It has been rounded off, making the Marine Band even more enjoyable to play. Hohner has applied no fewer than three coats of varnish to the pearwood comb to prevent it from swelling. In addition, extra screws have been used to make the harmonica as airtight as possible. As a result, the response of this Marine Band Deluxe is extremely quick when you play it, and the volume really comes into its own. This means you can easily play along with a band without having to blow too hard and risk damaging your harmonica. If you want to play along with a band, this Marine Band Deluxe is best suited for playing along with music in the key of C.

A bit of history

As you’ve already read in the previous paragraph, the Hohner brand and its most famous model, the Marine Band, have a very rich history. Hohner has been part of the harmonica world for over 150 years. Of course, this is only possible if you offer truly excellent products – and that’s exactly what Hohner does! Every single harmonica is still handmade and tuned to ensure you receive the very best quality. As a result, Hohner harmonicas are durable, look great and, not least, sound fantastic! The Marine Band in particular is a superb example of a timeless instrument. That’s why Hohner has chosen not to alter the original Marine Band and has instead launched a new edition: the Marine Band Deluxe. This way, you can still take a trip back in time with the Marine Band, whilst enjoying all the comforts of the present day.
