The Marine Band 1896 is the archetypal blues harmonica. Almost unchanged since it was patented in 1896, this iconic instrument embodies the real deep blues like no other and is the benchmark against which all others are judged. Initially designed for European folk music, it quickly became a prominent voice of American blues in the early 20th century, played by all harmonica players of this era. It's the soundtrack of broken hearts and dancing all night, of endless prairies and sweaty nightclubs. Like no other harmonica, the Marine Band 1896 is an invitation to express yourself in music, a key to unlocking your creativity. When you discover this piece of living musical history, you won't just play the blues. You'll feel the blues. Hohner spent more than 100 years refining this beautiful little instrument. The harmonica that most top professionals like has a rich, expressive tone that sums up what most people expect a harmonica to sound like. You don't simply open a door to a world of music when you pick up a Hohner Marine Band harmonica.
