Internationally recognized by performers for its beauty and simplicity, this is the most favored and famous harmonica in the world. The Hohner 1896 Marine Band Harmonica features finely chrome-plated heavy convex covers and a distinctive pear wood comb, packaged in a plastic hinged case with U.S. Marine Band photo.

The original blues harmonica with the legendary sound. The Marine Band with its traditional pear wood comb and unique cover design has been manufactured for more than 100 years and is still the instrument of choice for top professional players. 

This is the harmonica we all grew up with, and it's a favorite among the old timers, however the wooden comb makes it like playing a corn cobb - it is definitely not recommended for beginners. A beginner in search of the Marine Band sound should choose a Special 20 which has a plastic comb.

10 holes, 20 reeds, 41/8" long, octave tuned, wooden comb.
