Extremely precise tools minimize air loss and ensure a quicker response and bigger volume. As always, each Classic harmonica is exclusively handmade. Horner's diatonic harmonicas set the industry standard through their high quality construction, excellent response and unsurpassed tone. Often called "Blues Harps", they have been a fixture as melody and accompaniment instruments in blues, rock, country, and folk bands, as well as many other styles of music and musical ensembles. Richter tuning and undivided air channels allow for bending and overblowing the reeds, creating the signature wailing sound typical of the harmonica ## Features - One of the world's most recognizable harmonicas, known for its full tone and wood comb - Tuned to key of C; also available in other major keys, lower and higher octave, and minor tunings - Made famous by players from Little Walter to John Lennon, Paul Butterfield to Bruce Springsteen, and more - 20 reeds with 0.9mm brass reedplates; pearwood comb - Includes distinctive protective case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002D00H8 | | Brand Name | Hohner | | Color | Stainless steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (4,440) | | Finish Type | Polished | | Included Components | With Case | | Instrument Key | C | | Item Dimensions | 8.4 x 6.4 x 4.7 inches | | Item Highlight | 0.9mm Brass Reedplates, Single Laquered Pearwood Comb, and Arched Stainless Steel Covers | | Item Type Name | 1896BX Marine Band Harmonica, Key of C | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Hohner Inc, USA | | Manufacturer Part Number | M189693X | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Hohner Marine Band Harmonica Classic 1896 model | | Model Number | 1896BX-C | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | Marine Band | | Sound Profile | Full tone | | Style | Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm | | UPC | 190786073425 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 90 day warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hohner - **Color:** Stainless steel - **Instrument Key:** C - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Style:** Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm ## Images ![Hohner Marine Band 1896bx C Harmonica, Key of C, 0.9mm Brass Reeds | 0.9mm Brass Reedplates, Single Laquered Pearwood Comb, and Arched Stainless Steel Covers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PG9+ufG2L.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Hohner 1896BX Marine Band Tuned to Key of C Harmonica with 0.9mm Brass Reedplates, Single Laquered Pearwood Comb, and Arched Stainless Steel Covers - Harmonica Primer Book for Beginners with Video and Audio Access - Hohner Marine Band 1896 Diatonic Harmonica --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/68448518-hohner-marine-band-1896bx-c-harmonica-key-of-c-0](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/68448518-hohner-marine-band-1896bx-c-harmonica-key-of-c-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
