{"product_id":"hohner-marine-band-364-24-d-re-12-trous-24030","title":"Marine Band 364\/24 D\/D - 12 Holes","description":"\u003ch3\u003eMarine Band: A Legendary Line at Hohner\u003c\/h3\u003eAlongside the \"standard\" Richter harmonicas, Hohner developed models with a strong character, designed for specific techniques and aesthetics. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band series\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the brand's historic references: it is renowned for its \u003cstrong\u003ewooden comb\u003c\/strong\u003e and \"sandwich\" vintage-style construction, which has become a true sonic signature in blues and traditional music.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 364\/24\u003c\/strong\u003e fits directly into this tradition: when \u003cstrong\u003eSonny Boy Williamson II\u003c\/strong\u003e recorded the famous \"Bye Bye Bird,\" he used an \u003cstrong\u003eEcho Vamper\u003c\/strong\u003e, the British version of the model offered here. Since then, the construction spirit has remained faithful to its origins, with the main evolution being the styling and engraving of the covers.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musician and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThis Marine Band 364\/24 is aimed at the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e player looking for a \u003cstrong\u003e12-hole diatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e with an authentic tone, while keeping the familiar \u003cstrong\u003eRichter\u003c\/strong\u003e layout. The extra holes compared to the 10-hole format provide \u003cstrong\u003egreater melodic latitude\u003c\/strong\u003e and a more \"linear\" reading for certain phrases, without losing access to the typical blow and draw chords.\u003cbr \/\u003eIn terms of repertoire, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e (for bending and expressiveness), \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecountry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eroots rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, and songwriting accompaniment. In the key of \u003cstrong\u003eD\u003c\/strong\u003e, it naturally fits many situations (guitar, vocals, acoustic ensembles), while retaining the sharp and lively character appreciated in amplified playing.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe combination of \u003cstrong\u003epearwood\u003c\/strong\u003e (body and mouthpiece) and \u003cstrong\u003ebrass plates\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, with a clear attack and the typical organic \"grain\" of Marine Band harmonicas. The \u003cstrong\u003eRichter tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitates full chords and idiomatic intervals, while the blow\/draw interaction encourages the \u003cstrong\u003ebends\u003c\/strong\u003e sought after for blues inflections.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe construction with \u003cstrong\u003enailed plates\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel covers\u003c\/strong\u003e provides solid projection and durability. Visually, the \u003cstrong\u003ered pearwood body\u003c\/strong\u003e asserts a confident vintage style, and the \u003cstrong\u003e13.7 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e length corresponds to the size of a 12-hole diatonic, comfortable for a stable grip.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDiatonic or Chromatic?\u003c\/h3\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic harmonica\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed around a key (here \u003cstrong\u003eD\u003c\/strong\u003e ) with a layout that makes \u003cstrong\u003echords\u003c\/strong\u003e very natural on blow and draw. Thanks to the pair of reeds per hole, it also allows access to certain missing notes through \u003cstrong\u003ebending\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving that plaintive expressiveness emblematic of blues. Conversely, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonica aims to provide access to all notes (often via a sliding button), with a more \"all keys\" approach. The Hohner \u003cstrong\u003eMarine Band 364\/24\u003c\/strong\u003e is indeed a \u003cstrong\u003ediatonic\u003c\/strong\u003e : perfect if you seek the Richter feel, immediate chords, and expressive phrasing.\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)\"\u003eRed\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)\"\u003e12.0000\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\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eRed 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)\"\u003eRichter\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)\"\u003ePearwood\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\u003eKey\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e13.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hohner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334209687827,"sku":"24030","price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/ba4838331108d832f1d5e0c0770d9c412a31f052_HOHNER_MARINE_BAND_12TROUS.jpg?v=1789154912","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/hohner-marine-band-364-24-d-d-12-holes-24030","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
