{"product_id":"hohner-marine-band-1896-db-reb-10-trous-24025","title":"Marine Band 1896 Db\/Db - 10 Hole","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Foundational Reference: The Marine Band in HOHNER's History\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside standard \"Richter\" models, HOHNER developed harmonicas that became true stylistic benchmarks. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band series\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a special place: its \"sandwich\" assembly and \u003cstrong\u003ewooden comb (body)\u003c\/strong\u003e have influenced generations of musicians. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 1896\u003c\/strong\u003e, produced since 1896, is often regarded as the instrument that helped define the aesthetic of \u003cstrong\u003etraditional blues\u003c\/strong\u003e : sharp attack, lively grain, and an ideal response for making bent notes sing.\u003cbr \/\u003eWithin the HOHNER range, the Marine Band 1896 is a \u003cstrong\u003eflagship diatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e : a design deliberately faithful to the original spirit, intended for those seeking an authentic playing feel and a \"roots\" sound that naturally fits into an acoustic or amplified mix.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and Which Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThis Marine Band 1896 in \u003cstrong\u003eDb (D flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003emotivated beginners\u003c\/strong\u003e wanting to start on a characterful model, as well as \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced players\u003c\/strong\u003e looking for a traditional timbre. The 10-hole diatonic format is particularly comfortable in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e (shuffle, slow blues, boogie), but also in \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecountry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003esong accompaniment\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr \/\u003eThanks to the Richter layout, the instrument facilitates \u003cstrong\u003eblow and draw chords\u003c\/strong\u003e and opens the door to \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e : a technique that allows lowering certain notes to achieve that expressive phrasing essential to the blues vocabulary.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Marine Band 1896's sonic personality comes from the balance between its traditional design and materials. Its \u003cstrong\u003epearwood body\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to an organic feel under the lips and a warm tone. The \u003cstrong\u003e0.9-millimeter brass reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a solid response: the reed (the vibrating \"blade\") reacts with good dynamic range, useful for shifting from soft playing to stronger attack.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecurved stainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e, equipped with \u003cstrong\u003eside openings\u003c\/strong\u003e, promote airy projection and a pleasant sound return for the player. The \u003cstrong\u003etraditional HOHNER tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e highlights the \"vintage\" character: a rich grain, pronounced midrange presence, and a very musical rendering on chords, ideal for accompanying guitar or acoustic ensembles.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or Chromatic\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around a specific key: it excels at playing chords and expressive phrases and allows obtaining \"missing\" notes through \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e (interaction between blow and draw reeds in the same channel). A \u003cstrong\u003echromatic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the other hand, provides access to all notes (often via a button\/slide), making it very versatile for jazz or classical music. The HOHNER \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 1896\u003c\/strong\u003e presented here is \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e, in \u003cstrong\u003eDb (D flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eFor comfortable use and better longevity, you can pair it with a \u003cstrong\u003e10-hole diatonic harmonica holder (rack)\u003c\/strong\u003e (convenient for playing guitar simultaneously), as well as a \u003cstrong\u003esoft cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e to wipe covers and mouthpiece after playing. A dedicated protective case for a \u003cstrong\u003e10-hole harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is also recommended to limit shocks and exposure to moisture.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eD\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of holes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10.0000\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eDiatonic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eLacquered pearwood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eDb \/ D flat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBrown pearwood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hohner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54333945577747,"sku":"24025","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/f26a21eed22a3785360f2677710ee5c1c93af6db_HOH_MARINEBAND1896.jpg?v=1789436350","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-marine-band-1896-db-db-10-hole-24025","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
