The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band series\u003c\/strong\u003e has established itself as a historic pillar: its famous \"sandwich\" assembly and \u003cstrong\u003ewooden comb\u003c\/strong\u003e have helped shape an immediately recognizable sonic aesthetic.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 1896\u003c\/strong\u003e is often considered the instrument that defined the \u003cstrong\u003etraditional blues sound\u003c\/strong\u003e. Manufactured since 1896, it has become a natural choice for countless harmonica players, notably thanks to its classic design and \u003cstrong\u003etraditional HOHNER tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e that preserves this authentic and organic color.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor which musician and styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThis Hohner Marine Band 1896 is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003emotivated beginners\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e players seeking an ultra-credible foundation in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecountry\u003c\/strong\u003e, and vintage-style rock. Its temperament particularly shines in expressive techniques: \u003cstrong\u003ebends\u003c\/strong\u003e, inflections, breath control, percussive attacks, and chord accompaniment.\u003cbr \/\u003eTuned in \u003cstrong\u003eEb\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is perfect for varying keys within a set, complementing a diatonic harmonica collection, or working on typical pieces and positions around this key.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound and design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Marine Band 1896 focuses on a lively response and an \"old school\" sonic signature. Its \u003cstrong\u003epearwood body\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a warm playing feel, with a slightly woody attack and a very organic tone. The \u003cstrong\u003e0.9 mm brass reed plates\u003c\/strong\u003e add body to the sound and good stability, while the \u003cstrong\u003ecurved stainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eside openings\u003c\/strong\u003e promote projection and the typical diffusion of Marine Bands.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe instrument retains the historic spirit of the range: \u003cstrong\u003enailed\u003c\/strong\u003e reed plates and covers, compact format (10 cm), and a mouthpiece in contact with wood, here with a \u003cstrong\u003elacquered finish\u003c\/strong\u003e for a more pleasant feel and better durability.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or chromatic\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a major scale in a given key, with a layout designed to easily chain \u003cstrong\u003echords\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emelodies\u003c\/strong\u003e by blowing and drawing. It is also the ideal playground for \u003cstrong\u003ebends\u003c\/strong\u003e that give that plaintive and expressive quality so associated with blues. Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonica provides access to all notes via a mechanism (slider), often favored in jazz and classical music. The \u003cstrong\u003eHohner Marine Band 1896\u003c\/strong\u003e is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed for the typical musicality and expression of this format.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eEb\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of holes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e10.0000\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eDiatonic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eEb \/ E-flat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePearwood, brown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eLacquered pearwood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eEb4, G4, Bb4, Eb5, G5, Bb5, Eb6, G6, Bb6, Eb7\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eF4, Bb4, D5, F5, Ab5, C5, D6, F6, Ab6, C7\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hohner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54333980573971,"sku":"13634","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/02075999d2543438b134bf1f0c96c9e20973d797_HOH_MARINEBAND1896.jpg?v=1787332470","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-diatonic-1896-20-marine-band-10-holes-eb-mib-13634","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
