The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band series\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a special place: it is legendary for its \u003cstrong\u003ewooden comb\u003c\/strong\u003e and iconic construction, which has become a sonic landmark in blues history.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band Deluxe\u003c\/strong\u003e continues this heritage by preserving the sound identity of the lineage while adding field-oriented improvements: better ergonomics, increased \u003cstrong\u003eplaying volume\u003c\/strong\u003e, optimized sealing, and easier maintenance. This \"back to roots, cutting-edge technology\" approach is designed to meet the demands of musicians who want the Marine Band grain without compromising practicality.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musicians and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eTuned in \u003cstrong\u003eA flat (Ab)\u003c\/strong\u003e, this Marine Band Deluxe is an excellent choice for musicians who play in multiple keys (sets of several harmonicas) or who seek a darker, more singing tone. It is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e players looking to improve precision and dynamics, as well as \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\/professional\u003c\/strong\u003e players seeking a responsive and robust stage and studio instrument.\u003cbr \/\u003eIts preferred genres: \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e (Chicago, Texas, country blues), \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eamericana\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Richter tuning and reed response facilitate expressive effects (attacks, vibrato, dynamics) and encourage typical diatonic techniques, especially \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe core of the Marine Band character comes from the balance between a \u003cstrong\u003evarnished pearwood comb\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebrass plates\u003c\/strong\u003e : producing a \u003cstrong\u003edense\u003c\/strong\u003e sound with a strong presence in the midrange and a very appreciated \"organic\" feel in blues. The profile of the \u003cstrong\u003e20 reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e has been redesigned to improve longevity and reduce breakage while maintaining a lively and musical response.\u003cbr \/\u003eOn the design side, the \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel screw-on covers\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to durability and projection, while the \u003cstrong\u003eSuperGlide\u003c\/strong\u003e mouthpiece coating provides smoother sliding during mouth movements and fast articulations. The screw assembly improves \u003cstrong\u003esealing\u003c\/strong\u003e (and thus air efficiency), resulting in easier sound production and better control of dynamics, from pianissimo to more forceful playing.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or Chromatic?\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around a main key, with a layout that allows easy chord formation by blowing and drawing. Thanks to the interaction of the reeds (blow and draw) in each hole, it becomes possible to \u003cstrong\u003ebend\u003c\/strong\u003e certain notes to achieve typical blues inflections and fill in missing notes. In contrast, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonica provides direct access to all notes via a mechanism (slide) and is often more versatile in jazz or classical repertoire. This \u003cstrong\u003eHohner Marine Band Deluxe\u003c\/strong\u003e model is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eRichter tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed for expressiveness and \"feel\" playing.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eTo transport and play comfortably, you can complement the included case with a \u003cstrong\u003euniversal harmonica holder (rack)\u003c\/strong\u003e compatible with 10-hole diatonics, useful for accompanying guitar. A \u003cstrong\u003esoft cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e and a drying routine after playing will also help preserve the reeds and mouthpiece comfort. Note: \u003cstrong\u003eall parts\u003c\/strong\u003e of this harmonica are available as \u003cstrong\u003ereplacement parts\u003c\/strong\u003e, a real plus for long-term maintenance.\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\"\u003eA\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\u003eTuning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eRichter\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20\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\"\u003eAb \/ A 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\u003eComb (body)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrown pearwood with clear lacquer\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\"\u003eSuperGlide lacquer\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\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlate thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e0.9 millimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20 reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enew profile for increased longevity and less breakage\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\u003eCovers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eStainless steel\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\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eRigid neoprene with zipper and elastomer loop for belt carrying\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\u003eReplacement parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eAll parts of this harmonica are available as replacement parts\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":54333936926995,"sku":"24082","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a6540d765abf1a0bbf7bdf272b4dbe21fa7c5486_HOH_MARINEBANDDELUXE.jpg?v=1787310660","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-diatonic-2005-20-marine-band-deluxe-10-holes-ab-lab-24082","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
