{"product_id":"hohner-marine-band-364-24-g-sol-12-trous-24029","title":"DIATONIC 364\/24 MARINE BAND 12 HOLES G SOL","description":"\u003ch3\u003eMarine Band 364\/24: A Hohner Classic at the Heart of Blues Tradition\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside the standard Richter harmonicas, Hohner has developed models with a distinct character, designed for specific techniques and repertoires. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band series\u003c\/strong\u003e is among the historic references: recognizable by its \u003cstrong\u003ewooden comb\u003c\/strong\u003e and traditional assembly, it has accompanied generations of harmonica players. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 364\/24\u003c\/strong\u003e follows this \"old school\" lineage: it is notably cited as close to the \"Echo Vamper\" (British version), associated with the recording of \u003cstrong\u003e\"Bye Bye Bird\"\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eSonny Boy Williamson II\u003c\/strong\u003e. This indicates that this is an instrument with character, crafted for expressive playing and authentic tone.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWho Is This Marine Band 12-Hole in G For?\u003c\/h3\u003eThis Hohner is well suited for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a diatonic harmonica that is both traditional and offers a wider range than a 10-hole. In \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, it facilitates melodic lines and certain playing positions thanks to the 12 holes, while maintaining the Richter approach (immediate chords and \"vocal\" phrasing). It is also comfortable in \u003cstrong\u003efolk, country, rock, pop\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eaccompaniment\u003c\/strong\u003e (rhythms, ostinatos, call-and-response). A motivated beginner can also consider it, provided they accept an instrument with a \"vintage\" feel and dedicate some practice to embouchure and breath control consistency.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe personality of the Marine Band 364\/24 comes from its balance between \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003epearwood body\u003c\/strong\u003e (red tint) provides an organic grain, often sought after for a more \"woody\" sound and rounded attack. The \u003cstrong\u003e0.9 mm brass plates\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to a substantial playing feel, with stable response when pushing intensity, while the \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance projection and durability. The \u003cstrong\u003e12-hole format\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a wider range, practical for connecting melodic ideas without changing instruments, and enriching accompaniment by exploiting chords and arpeggios. In Richter tuning, the harmonica naturally lends itself to \u003cstrong\u003ebends\u003c\/strong\u003e on certain notes, allowing players to reach \"missing\" notes and achieve the plaintive sound emblematic of blues.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or Chromatic?\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around a key (here \u003cstrong\u003eG\u003c\/strong\u003e ) with a layout that makes \u003cstrong\u003echords\u003c\/strong\u003e very accessible on blow and draw. Thanks to the interaction between the blow reed and draw reed in each channel, certain notes can be bent to obtain very expressive colors and complete chromatic notes depending on positions and technique. Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to play all notes with a more \"universal\" logic, often via a slide system. The \u003cstrong\u003eHohner Marine Band 364\/24\u003c\/strong\u003e is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal if you seek the touch, tone, and playing reflexes typical of Richter tuning (blues, folk, rock, accompaniment).\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eFor transport, favor a \u003cstrong\u003ecase\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eprotective box\u003c\/strong\u003e with an internal length of \u003cstrong\u003eat least 14 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e (the instrument measures 13.7 cm). For regular maintenance, a \u003cstrong\u003esoft cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e to wipe the covers and storage away from humidity will help preserve playing comfort and longevity.\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\"\u003eG\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\"\u003e12.0000\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\"\u003eRed\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\"\u003eG\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, red\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\"\u003ePearwood\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e13.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlow pitch per hole 1 to 12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eG3, B3, D4, G4, B4, D5, G5, B5, D6, G6, B6, D7\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDraw pitch per hole 1 to 12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eA3, D4, F#4, A4, C5, E5, F#5, A5, C6, E6, F#6, A6\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":54334316904723,"sku":"24029","price":71.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/80e3e267a6becd4ad4989f307065784cff5ecc7d_HOHNER_MARINE_BAND_12TROUS.jpg?v=1787378327","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-diatonic-364-24-marine-band-12-holes-g-sol-24029","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
