Review: "Key" Reasons You Should Buy Hohner Harmonicas - I have been using Hohner harmonicas for 25 years professionally and would not buy any other brand. They are the gold standard and Mercedes Benz of harps. The sound is Mellifluous and the harmonicas are durable and resilient if taken care of properly. But allow me to elaborate on the "key" reasons you should consider buying Hohner harmonicas. A SOLID REPUTATION Hohner has been manufacturing, handcrafted, high-quality harmonicas since 1857. It is the preferred instrument of choice for legendary performers such as: Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, Bob Dylan and even John Lennon to just name a few. Yes, you pay extra, but Horner harmonicas are worth the investment. They don't make cheap harmonicas. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL Since Hohner specializes in harmonicas, they offer a smart variety to suit your musical needs: Diatonic, Chromonica, MS Series, Tremlo, Orchestra and more. Each one of these harmonicas will assure you the best instrument for your performance or musical group. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE & RESOURCES Harmonicas fatigue and eventually need repair and tuning just like any other musical instrument and it is reassuring to know that Hohner's got you covered and have customer service and various resources to keep you jamming along. THERE ARE HEALTH BENEFITS Did you know playing the harmonica is also healthy for your lungs? Recent studies show that harmonica therapy is helping patients in the recovery process pulmonary rehab. Harmonica is the only instrument that your breath in and out to produce sound. As a singer it helps me strengthen diaphragmatic breathing. DO YOU NEED A "MARINE BAND?" Aside from popularity, the Marine Band has a distinctive Pearwood Comb and produces luscious melodies. It is a 10 hole diatonic harmonica. Again, since 1896, this is a tried and true instrument played the world over . So I always will be inclined to pay extra money for a Hohner harmonica. WHICH KEY DO YOU NEED? Here is a helpful key chart. Don't make the mistake of purchasing a harp in the key of E if a song is in the key of E (you actually want to buy a A Key for a song played in E). Song Key Played / Harmonica Key Needed E/ A F /B-FLAT G/ C A/ D B/ E C / F D/ G
Review: Just beautifully playing... - I bought this piece together with a Low D and they are both excellent so far.No problems to talk about. Hohner offers 5 low-pitched 1896-Marine-Bands below Key of G : Low D,Low Eb,Low E,Low F,Low F# I wish I could afford them all. Below is the Tuning Chart for a 10-hole diatonic in Key of Low E : BLOW : Hole# 1/E3 2/Ab3 3/B3 4/E4 5/Ab4 6/B4 7/E5 8/Ab5 9/B5 10/E6 DRAW : Hole# 1/F#3 2/B3 3/Eb4 4/F#4 5/A4 6/Db5 7/Eb5 8/F#5 9/A5 10/Db6
