    Hohner Marine Band Harmonica, Key of E

    • The Marine Band is a lot sharper on the notes and a lot easier to sound good on.
    • I later bought other, more sophisticated harmonicas but my Marine Band will always be my favorite!
    • The Marine Band is ideal for single note playing (you do have to pucker more than you would with bigger harps like Lee Oskar)
    • Have tried the blues harp and the pro harp but the Marine Band still reigns supreme for me.
    • I slightly prefer the sound and playability of the Special 20 and would therefore recommend the Special 20 (C), though I would recommend the Marine Band (A) as a second harmonica
    • I've owned Hohner Blues Harps, Special 20s and a Lee Oskar, and while I like all of them, I really love the Marine Band
    • Plus, if I did get any better the Marine Band would still be good enough at an advanced level
    • Anyway, I can't recommend the Marine Band too highly
    • and I actually greatly prefer this Marine Band
    • For the harmonica itself ,it is the famous 1896 Marine Band ,and the piece I bought just works perfectly ,no issues.
    • The Marine Band is not the worst I have experienced, but the coverplates do stick out over the wood comb slightly
    • I have been playing a Marine Band Harmonica (favorite keys - C and D) for over 40 years
    • Out of the box the Marine Band was a disaster
    • In all fairness the Marine Band has a very nice
    • It is as good as my favorite: the Marine Band Crossover
    • that I like a
    • I hate to disparage a
