Hohner Marine Band Classic 1896 10 Hole Harmonica Ab

Product Information:

The Marine Band 1896 is the archetypal blues harmonica. Almost unchanged since it was patented in 1896, this iconic instrument embodies the real deep blues like no other and is the benchmark against which all others are judged.
