{"product_id":"hohner-rocket-a-la-10-trous-186715","title":"DIATONIC 2013\/20 ROCKET 10 HOLES A LA","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHohner Rocket: A \"Special\" Model in the Progressive Spirit\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside the \"classic\" Richter harmonicas, Hohner has developed models with more specific design and playing feel, designed to meet modern techniques and demanding styles. The Rocket fits this approach: a focus on comfort, efficiency, and volume, while retaining the Richter tuning that shaped the identity of the diatonic harmonica. In the Progressive series, there is a philosophy oriented towards performance and expressiveness, adopted by harmonica players known for their virtuosity and musicality.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musician and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Hohner Rocket in A is aimed both at the \u003cstrong\u003emotivated beginner\u003c\/strong\u003e who wants an easy-to-play harmonica, and the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate or advanced musician\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a responsive, powerful, and comfortable instrument. Its quick response and sealing make it particularly enjoyable for working on articulation, clean attacks, and nuances. Style-wise, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e (bending, expressive effects), \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e (sound that cuts through the mix), \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e. Whether amplified or acoustic, it maintains a direct and lively character, with dynamics that are easy to control.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Rocket is designed to offer a \u003cstrong\u003efull tone\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehigh projection\u003c\/strong\u003e, thanks to very widely open stainless steel covers that allow the instrument to \"breathe.\" This openness, combined with a design that promotes sealing, helps achieve \u003cstrong\u003eeasy sound production\u003c\/strong\u003e : less air loss, more sound, and an immediate response feel. The plastic body, with rounded edges, provides a very smooth contact and stable grip, enhancing comfort for tongue blocking techniques and fast transitions.\u003cbr \/\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003eRichter tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e10 holes\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Rocket easily produces chords by blowing and drawing, while allowing the characteristic \u003cstrong\u003ebends\u003c\/strong\u003e of blues playing. The 0.9-millimeter brass reeds contribute to a solid feel and consistent response. The result: a diatonic harmonica that is energetic, comfortable, and very effective for shifting from rhythmic playing to expressive melodic phrases.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or Chromatic\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around a key (here \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003e ) and a layout that facilitates \u003cstrong\u003echords\u003c\/strong\u003e and rhythmic playing. It does not naturally provide all the notes of the chromatic scale but allows access to \"missing\" notes through \u003cstrong\u003ebends\u003c\/strong\u003e, by playing on the interaction between the blow and draw reeds in each channel. Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to have all notes, often via a slide system, and aims for more direct melodic versatility. The Hohner Rocket is a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e : it emphasizes character, attack, chords, and the expressiveness typical of blues and contemporary music.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eTo get the most out of your Rocket, you can pair it with a \u003cstrong\u003eneck holder (harmonica holder)\u003c\/strong\u003e compatible with \u003cstrong\u003e10-hole\u003c\/strong\u003e diatonic harmonicas, convenient for playing guitar simultaneously. For regular maintenance, a \u003cstrong\u003esoft cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eregular cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e after playing (dry instrument, closed case) help preserve reed response and longevity. The included sturdy neoprene case already provides effective protection during transport.\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\"\u003eBlack\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\u003eKey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eA\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\"\u003ePlastic, with rounded shapes and edges for very good playing comfort\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\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSturdy neoprene\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":54334221320467,"sku":"186715","price":46.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/fa3361ba3991a377156ef08a8df4369563a2cbdf_HOHNER_ROCKETUP.jpg?v=1787336897","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-diatonic-2013-20-rocket-10-holes-a-la-186715","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
