{"product_id":"hohner-pro-harp-ab-lab-10-trous-24013","title":"DIATONIC 562\/20 MS PRO HARP 10 HOLES AB LAB","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHohner Pro Harp MS: a \"black\" icon in the Modular System range\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside standard Richter harmonicas, Hohner has developed models designed for specific playing approaches and tonal colors. The \u003cstrong\u003ePro Harp\u003c\/strong\u003e fits this logic: a diatonic instrument with an immediately recognizable style, designed for musicians seeking an elegant aesthetic and consistent handling. It is part of the \u003cstrong\u003eMS series\u003c\/strong\u003e (Modular System), an integrated design concept unique to Hohner, where key elements (covers, plates, comb) are designed to be \u003cstrong\u003einterchangeable\u003c\/strong\u003e within the MS family. The result: a durable harmonica, easy to maintain over time, and capable of evolving with your preferences (feel, projection, comfort).\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which musician and styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Hohner Pro Harp MS is suitable for both the \u003cstrong\u003eserious beginner\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e player looking for a reliable, expressive, and consistent diatonic from one unit to another. Its \u003cstrong\u003eRichter tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e (the most common layout on 10-hole diatonics) facilitates learning typical patterns, chords, and licks (shuffle, boogie, backing riffs), while remaining compatible with more advanced techniques.\u003cbr \/\u003eRegarding styles, it is a natural choice for \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e (bends, plaintive effects, attacks), but also for \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecountry\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the key of \u003cstrong\u003eA flat (Ab)\u003c\/strong\u003e, you have a very effective instrument for \"straight\" playing (1st position) on Ab-centered songs, and you can also use it in \"cross\" playing (2nd position) to access another typical blues tonal color, with more bending possibilities.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Pro Harp MS combines a construction designed for efficiency with a stage-oriented finish. Its \u003cstrong\u003eplastic comb\u003c\/strong\u003e provides excellent stability against humidity variations and contributes to a consistent playing feel. The \u003cstrong\u003e0.9-millimeter brass plates\u003c\/strong\u003e, advertised as milled to enhance airtightness, promote a \u003cstrong\u003ebetter response\u003c\/strong\u003e (the instrument \"speaks\" faster) and more comfortable sound emission, especially at low breath pressure.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack lacquered stainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e, without side openings, contribute to the \"full black\" aesthetic and also influence sound projection: the sound projects more forward, with a more focused sensation for the player. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003eplastic mouthpiece coating\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a pleasant lip contact, useful during long sessions, whether you play pucker (tight-lip playing) or tongue blocking.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or chromatic?\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is built around a given key: it emphasizes the \u003cstrong\u003echords\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003escales\u003c\/strong\u003e most common in that key, making it formidable for accompaniment and typical phrasing. Thanks to the functioning of the reeds (blow and draw reeds per hole) and the technique of \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e, additional notes can be obtained to produce the expressive wail emblematic of blues. Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e aims to access all notes more directly, usually via a slide system, and often targets more modulating repertoires. The Hohner Pro Harp MS presented here is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic model\u003c\/strong\u003e in \"A flat (Ab)\".\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eTo protect your instrument, a \u003cstrong\u003ecase\u003c\/strong\u003e (or pouch) for 10-hole harmonicas will fit perfectly, as well as a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonica holder\u003c\/strong\u003e (neck rack) in the standard 10-hole format. Routine maintenance can be facilitated by a \u003cstrong\u003esoft cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e and appropriate cleaning after playing. Finally, since the Pro Harp belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eHohner MS series\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMS standard spare parts\u003c\/strong\u003e (subject to availability: plates, covers, comb) are a relevant option if you want to keep the instrument at its best response level over time.\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\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePlastic, black\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\"\u003ePlastic\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\"\u003e10.4 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\u003eBlow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehole 1 Ab3, hole 2 C4, hole 3 Eb4, hole 4 Ab4, hole 5 C5, hole 6 Eb5, hole 7 Ab5, hole 8 C6, hole 9 Eb6, hole 10 Ab6\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\"\u003ehole 1 Bb3, hole 2 Eb4, hole 3 G4, hole 4 Bb4, hole 5 Db5, hole 6 F5, hole 7 G5, hole 8 Bb5, hole 9 Db6, hole 10 F6\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":54333954195731,"sku":"24013","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a8eb673ca6e2383fd130052e58e3eb3e6abcf3e1_HOHN_PROHARP.jpg?v=1787306559","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-diatonic-562-20-ms-pro-harp-10-holes-ab-lab-24013","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
