{"product_id":"hohner-marine-band-1896-f-fa-10-trous-24026","title":"DIATONIC 1896\/20 MARINE BAND 10 HOLES F# FA#","description":"\u003ch3\u003eMarine Band: a historic reference at Hohner\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside the \"standard\" Richter harmonicas, Hohner has developed models that have become true sonic signatures. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band\u003c\/strong\u003e series is among the most legendary: it features a \u003cstrong\u003ecomb\u003c\/strong\u003e (the body forming the air channels) made of wood and a typical \"sandwich\" construction, recognizable both by touch and by ear. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 1896\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly emblematic: manufactured since the late 19th century, it has greatly contributed to defining the aesthetic of \u003cstrong\u003etraditional blues\u003c\/strong\u003e and remains, even today, a highly sought-after model for its character and sonic identity.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which type of musician and styles\u003c\/h3\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 1896 diatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at musicians who want to recapture the vintage feel and tone associated with great blues recordings. It suits \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e levels, especially if you explore expressive techniques such as \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e and playing in \u003cstrong\u003epositions\u003c\/strong\u003e (cross-harp, etc.). In terms of styles, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecountry\u003c\/strong\u003e, roots rock, and rhythmic accompaniment thanks to the ease of forming chords by blowing and drawing.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Marine Band 1896 is appreciated for its \u003cstrong\u003ewarm timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e and direct projection, with a clear attack that \"speaks\" quickly when pushing air. Its \u003cstrong\u003etraditional tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e favors a characteristic harmonic color, very musical for blues and double-note licks. The diatonic \u003cstrong\u003e10-hole\u003c\/strong\u003e configuration facilitates chord work and expressive effects, as the interaction of blow and draw reeds in each channel allows for certain bent notes, a hallmark of blues phrasing.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe construction highlights classic materials: \u003cstrong\u003epearwood comb\u003c\/strong\u003e (brown) and \u003cstrong\u003e0.9 mm brass plates\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003edomed stainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e with side openings contribute to the sound character and diffusion feel. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003elacquered pearwood mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a natural contact, consistent with the \"Marine Band\" spirit.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or chromatic\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is centered on a given key and offers a layout designed to easily obtain \u003cstrong\u003echords\u003c\/strong\u003e and typical blow\/draw sequences, making it particularly comfortable for blues, folk, or country. Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonica allows access to all notes via a dedicated mechanism, useful for more \"modulating\" lines in jazz or classical repertoire. The \u003cstrong\u003eHohner Marine Band 1896\u003c\/strong\u003e presented here is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eF#\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed for expressive playing and blues color.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable
