Hohner1896BX-C Marine Band in C, Chrome, 10

So quarantine has definitely motivated to try new things. And the harmonica was definitely top of the list. After countless sessions of watching YouTube videos. I finally decided to hop on to Amazon and purchase this beautiful harmonica.For the price, this was very much affordable. And after receiving it the next day in the post and unboxing it. It was lovely too see that it came in a nice cute handy case. And inside the case was this shiny beautiful Metallica.As I blew it, the sounds was just angelic and harmonious. I also bought a training book with this also to get me started. And honestly, it’s just amazing what sounds and songs you can okay with this small handy instrument.I also decided to name it, as this is what my book suggested I do. And I named it “Anxiety”. Because I feel every time I play it, it relieves me and fills up my heart and calms my nerves.

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.

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.

Hey guys, so my C harmonica arrived today. And the sound from it is terrific. My first time ever picking up and playing a harmonica. And the box, the instrument itself both look great. Very smooth and professional finish. So a quick youtube search and i gathered that a C harmonica is a good place to start. And the Hohner brand speaks for itself.So what did i do as soon as i opened my new harmonica? Well i went straight back to youtube where i began learning to blow and draw clean single notes. Imagine my dismay when i found the 2 hole draw is broken! No. It is not broken. And this is part of my reasoning for making a review. This is a common beginner issue, i was glad to read and your harmonica is most likely fine. The reed for the 2 hole is much longer than the rest. Or something. But learning these things are all part of the fun! Really enjoying it so far and i'm looking forward to improving, despite the fact i think this particular harmonica is broken.

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.

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.

Great build quality and awesome sound. Definitely get Value for the money you spend.

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!
