{"product_id":"hohner-golden-melody-bb-sib-10-trous-373582","title":"GOLDEN MELODY BB\/SIB - 10 HOLES","description":"\u003ch3\u003eGolden Melody Progressive: A Reinvented Hohner Icon\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside the standard Richter harmonicas, Hohner develops models designed for specific techniques and aesthetics. The \u003cstrong\u003eGolden Melody Progressive\u003c\/strong\u003e follows this logic: it retains the \u003cstrong\u003ewarm sound\u003c\/strong\u003e that made it famous, while adopting a modernized design aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebetter grip\u003c\/strong\u003e, increased stability, and more effective \u003cstrong\u003eairtightness\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is part of the \u003cstrong\u003eProgressive series\u003c\/strong\u003e, associated with artists known for their high standards and virtuosity.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musicians and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThis Hohner is intended for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to professional harmonica players\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a diatonic that is comfortable, precise, and expressive. In \u003cstrong\u003eB-flat\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is particularly appreciated in contexts such as \u003cstrong\u003ejazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebrass band music\u003c\/strong\u003e, and certain \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e ensembles where this key is common. It remains relevant for \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially if you like to work on articulation and phrasing with single-note melodies.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Golden Melody Progressive aims for a balance between \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epower\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its excellent \u003cstrong\u003eairtightness\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a \u003cstrong\u003equick response\u003c\/strong\u003e, easier sound production, and a more consistent volume, which helps to chain dynamics and attacks without strain. The \u003cstrong\u003ebrass reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e (high-precision machining) contribute to steady vibration and a stable playing feel. Ergonomically, the \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e with a studied shape, as well as the \u003cstrong\u003ecomb\u003c\/strong\u003e with polished mouthpiece and rounded edges, significantly improve comfort, especially during long sessions.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or Chromatic?\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonica is designed around one key (here \u003cstrong\u003eB-flat\u003c\/strong\u003e ): it naturally offers chords when blowing and drawing, and allows access to certain \"missing\" notes through \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e (the expressive sound widely used in blues). Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonica provides access to all notes via a mechanism (slide), making it very versatile for written and modulating repertoires. The \u003cstrong\u003eGolden Melody Progressive\u003c\/strong\u003e is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e, optimized for precise melodic playing thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003eequal temperament tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e.\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\"\u003eBb\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\"\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\u003eKey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBB\/B-flat\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\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePlastic, red\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":54334222401811,"sku":"373582","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/dc69bffd860f82461a2890092fd33816206ef3e3_NEW_GOLDENMELODYV.jpg?v=1787366041","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-golden-melody-bb-sib-10-holes-373582","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
