The Hohner Marine Band 1896 C Major is an icon of harmonica craftsmanship, delivering the rich, expressive sound that has defined blues, folk, and rock for over a century. Favored by legendary players, this classic 10-hole diatonic harmonica offers exceptional response, tonal depth, and airtight construction, making it a trusted choice for professionals and dedicated musicians.
Timeless tone, professional precision
Designed for those who demand authenticity and reliability, the Marine Band 1896 is built using Hohner’s time-honored techniques. Its pearwood comb enhances resonance and warmth, while the hand-fitted brass reeds provide articulate, dynamic performance. The stainless steel cover plates ensure durability and a smooth playing feel, whether you're bending notes for expressive blues licks or delivering crisp, melodic phrasing.
With traditional nailed assembly, the Marine Band 1896 maintains the vintage character that has made it a mainstay in the harmonica world. It offers a balanced blend of playability and projection, making it equally suited for stage performance, studio recording, and personal practice.
