Sound House handles harmonicas made by the world-renowned German manufacturer Hohner in addition to domestic manufacturers Suzuki and Tombo. The Marine Band 10-hole harmonica that John Lennon played is also a product by Hohner. This time, I’m going to introduce Sound House’s top 5 most popular Hohner harmonicas.
No. 5 Little Lady Special Harmonica
At first glance, you might think it is a harmonica-shaped accessory, but it is a mini harmonica from the Little Lady Series. Known as the world’s smallest harmonica, it has four holes and can play a range of eight notes in an octave. The sturdy case with the large “HOHNER” brand label is essential to keep the instrument safe! The tone is beautiful and the design is stylish, so this is a good choice as a gift.
No. 4 Blues Harp X 532/20 MSX 10-hole Harmonica
This 10-hole harmonica is one that I recommend for beginners. Another name for a 10-hole harmonica is a “blues harp”, which happens to be the name of this particular Hohner model. This is a popular product that has been one of our best sellers. The wooden body gives it a mature and austere sound and is available in a total of 12 keys, so you can choose any key that best suits the song you want to play!
No. 3 Special 20 X Major 10-holes Harmonica
While most Hohner harmonicas are made with wooden bodies, this is the first model with a resin body. Compared to wooden bodies, there is no need to worry about moisture, and the airtight construction allows for easy maintenance. The Special 20 X Major is characterized by its beautiful, delicate tone and I recommend it for beginners♪
No. 2 Marine Band 1896/20X 10-holes Harmonica
The Marine Band Series has a long history going back over 100 years! This model has been loved generations ago to the present, and has been loved by players of blues rock music. The wooden body is made of pearwood, which produces a mature tone. It also produces a beautiful and powerful sound, which is one of the reasons why it is loved by so many players. This harmonica is still manufactured in the same traditional way today without any changes, making it a special harmonica like no other♪
No. 1 KM1700 [formerly HH01] Harmonica Holder
This might be shocking for me to say this, but No. 1 is a harmonica holder, which is essential when you want to play harmonica with a guitar or other instruments🌟 This particular holder can be used for a 10-hole harmonica. The flat arm makes it stable, so you don’t have to worry about it falling off. Also, the very simple design makes it perfect for those who do not want their holders to stand out too much.
How was it? I have introduced only a small selection of many Hohner products, but at Sound House we also offer many other attractive products in many designs and tones. Even if you have only purchased harmonicas made by Japanese manufacturers, I hope you will consider purchasing a harmonica made by Hohner.
