Its uniquely authentic sound has defined the role of the harmonica in the blues tradition and made it the benchmark harp by which all others are judged. The pearwood comb, arched covers with side vents and traditional HOHNER tuning combine to create the legendary sound which can be heard on countless classic blues recordings from the 1920s to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the heyday of the harmonica during the 1920s, millions of Marine Bands were exported to the USA every year. European migrants played a considerable role in the dissemination of the instrument and areas with a large population of German settlers such as Texas or Carolina also produced large numbers of black harp players. The Marine Band was cheap and readily available in any general store, so it became the most widely distributed musical instrument in the USA at this time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Pearwood comb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Arched stainless steel covers with side vents, nailed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 20 Classic reeds, 0.9 mm brass reed plates, mounted with nails\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Single laquered pearwood comb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Traditional HOHNER tuning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Available in all major keys plus special tunings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Handmade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"contenttable contenttable-0 hohner2-prod-table\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
