Overview
Songs from the golden age of the harmonica are the target of this streamlined Hohner, tuned in octaves with a polished finish. It is a single instrument, pitched in C.
Octave tuning gives the instrument a full, resonant voice for rich chords as well as melody lines. The retro gold design is the other draw for collectors of the look. Hole count and reed details are missing, which is the gap for anyone matching it to a song book.
Who it's for
Players of evergreens, pop classics and folk who like a full chordal sound and a vintage look. Anyone who needs another key, hole count or a chromatic slide should shop elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Octave tuning for full chords
- Retro gold design
- Key of C
- Hole count not listed
- Plastic material may feel lighter than metal
Performance notes
Octave tuning sounds each note with a second reed an octave apart, which thickens chords and melody lines. The resonance comes from that doubled reed layout. Body material is plastic, and the listing does not describe the reed plates.
