Hohner 1896BX-C Marine Band in C, Chrome, 10

Good present, Billy Joel’s piano man has never sounded better. Feels and looks like a present given its quality materials

Great, accurate sound which is easy to produce. Excellent quality! I have two Hohner mouth organs now and both are of equal sound, and quality. It is like night and day compared to the cheaper mouth organs.

Wanted to learn a musical skill during lockdown. The Horner was recommended as an economical, versatile and comparatively EASY way to start. Arrived quickly and is surprisingly well made and very compact in it's plastic case. It easily fits into a jacket pocket. With many ebooks available for beginners it was easy to get started, and to progress to simple tunes. The ebook enabled you to read the score on an iPad and listen to how the tune should sound. Which is where I am at present.

Really pleased with the sound of this harmonica since starting with the Big River Harp. Seems just bit smaller than the Big River but that doesn't bother me at all. The wooden comb makes a nice change as well. The only nitpick I have is that the inside of the case was missing one of the protective bits of plastic and the glue was exposed. Not bad enough to return it but a bit disappointing. Will improvise by sticking some foam or felt in the case I think.

I got all three models and by fat the Marine is the best item. Rich and warm sound, perfect for blues. The fender i won't even bother to write a review, total disappointment. The progressive special 20 is bigger than this model, the sound is just not as good as this model. I am novice player myself, and i can play much easier using this model, not sure why. Overall, top sound, excellent build quality, and the looks are very cool too!

Hohner Marine Band is one of my favorite harmonica I ever tried. It has got a loud bright tone, easy to bend. Just love it.

If you are new to an instrument the last thing you need is something of poor quality materials, construction or sound. This harmonica ticks every positive box, quality materials, nicely made - no nasty sharp edges and it sounds beautiful. I am really pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

It's my second harmonica. I am a beginner and on my first harmonica ( hohner special 20 ) NOT was possible to play any single note. I don't give up and i buy this SUPERB SOUND AND EASY TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE NOTE HARMONICA and i am happy. If work for me, everybody can play every single hole note (hole nr 2 very easy to play)

Es ist eine großartige Mundharmonika für Anfänger als auch fortgeschrittene Spieler. Der Kaufgrund war ihre Beliebtheit in Musikerkreisen und das Versprechen einer hervorragenden Klangqualität. Sie überzeugt durch eine stabile Verarbeitung und einen warmen, vollen Klang. Besonders positiv ist der einfache Spielkomfort. Die Töne lassen sich leicht anblasen, und die Mundharmonika liegt gut in der Hand. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt wäre die etwas simplere Optik, die nicht jedem gefallen könnte. Ich vergebe 5 von 5 Sternen. Sie ist einfach zu spielen und bietet eine tolle Klangqualität zu einem fairen Preis.

Tenia antes una BluesBand(gama baja) y con esa recién comencé a aprender, pero hoy me llego esta maravillosa armónica y lo digo realmente porque el sonido se escucha limpio y claro, los bend salen mucho mejores y no se necesita forzar tanto para lograr las notas aspiradas 8,9,10. A mi criterio es excelente, espero poder darle el uso correspondiente y lograr sacarle la melodía para la que ha sido construida. Muy contento con esta maravillosa armónica. La recomiendo!!!

Great Harmonica. Pretty, great sound. but... Came in a box not sealed... very weird anyone could have touched it. Have sharp edges, that I have never seen even on cheap Chinese ones. This is a recurrent complaint. O am not sure why the company doesn't fix it.
