Simply the best
The Hohner Marine band harmonicas are good quality instruments that are reliable and stay good for many years if not abused. I have one I can still use that is 30 years old but was never played too much because it's in B and I use the C and G ones most of the time. I was surprized at the price last time I tried to replace the C and G harmonicas and made the mistake of buying a cheaper model from a Glasgow music shop. You can't try them out now a day's as it's a health and safety issue. I only wasted my money on other brands. The Hohner is simply the best. Cheaper brands of harmonicas would put you off ever learning to play as they don't stay in tune and have not a consistent full chord sound.You need to blow them harder too. They are literally a waste of breath. Don't waste your money on anything less than a Hohner. This firm are selling them at a good price and the freepost service although it can take a week or more is OK. I bought 2 in the same order and they can post them through your letterbox if you are out which is great because I hate having to wait in for the postman.

Its what Bob Dylan used
I am a guitar player but new to harmonica. I bought this one because I read that Bob Dylan used it, that was my entire criteria and to be honest that's probably all you need to know. It sounds nice, but I have nothing to compare it to. Bob Dylan probably did though. It comes in a box. Bob Dylan maybe got the same box, who can tell. In conclusion, this is the harmonica used by Bob Dylan on hits such as The times they are a changin'. If its good enough for him it is good enough for you.

A G-reat Harmonica in the key of G!
A fantastic, high quality harmonica made by one of the world's most well-known and trusted manufacturers. This instrument has responsive reeds (particularly good for bending notes) and produces a rich, professional-sounding tone. As a beginner, I've found the lower register a little more challenging to perfect than that of my C harp, but it's well worth the effort! Overall, I'm delighted with this Hohnher Marine Brand harmonica in G, which is key required for all those players looking to imitate (and maybe emulate!) Neil Young's famous 'Heart of Gold' solos.

Came well packed no probs
I have a few of these Hohner diatonic harps in different keys . To me they seem very well made and are built to last . I have one that's 30 years old now and it still plays well. Great product from the one and only Hohner. 👏

Sounds good, but some notes dont sound clear.
A lovely harmonica, its a shame one of the sound holes doesnt sound clear, whether it needs freeing up inside I dont know, I havent had time to look ( and pins make it harder to check), but either way it isn't 100% out of the box.

Marine Band, una garanzia. Se viene usata dal 1896 c'è un motivo. Modello di armonica professionale, il suono è perfetto, l'intonazione anche, la comodità eccellente. Un consiglio a tutti i principianti che si avviano all'armonica: evitate i modelli economici che ci sono in giro, le "armoniche" che costano 10/15 euro lasciatele dove si trovano. Lo dico per esperienza, prima di avere un'armonica professionale ho provato un modello economico. Per colpa di esso stavo per abbandonare lo studio dell'armonica per sempre, dato che il 90% delle tecniche era impossibile da applicare. Quando provai la mia prima vera armonica (una Blues Harp) avevo capito che mi ero perso tante, troppe cose. La Marine Band è ottima, un armonica con la A maiuscola.

初めて買ったブルースハープがマリンバンドでした。 その後継ブランドらしいけど、かっちりしててステキな音ですよ。 良い!

A Hohner Marine Band 1896 é a harmonica mais icônica do mundo. Todas as lendas do blues tocaram nela. Ter a oportunidade única de ser dono de uma dessas gaitas não tem preço. Totalmente artesanal, a Marine 1896 é ainda hoje feita com madeira de pereira. Entrega rápida.
