The Marine Band Thunderbird model is tuned an octave lower than standard harmonicas. It is thus able to produce a really powerful and rich sound. Its patented, triple-lacquered, laminated bamboo body is completely waterproof and airtight, guaranteeing its stability and a really clear, resonant, tone. The harmonica also features reinforced stainless steel covers with side holes and an open back, while the bottom asymmetrical cover prevents the slices from rattling when played, rounded edges for added playing comfort, twenty brass voicings, 0.9mm thick brass slices and a three octave range. Also included is a neoprene zippered case that protects the harmonica from dust and allows moisture to escape.
All Marine Band Thunderbird models use Richter tuning.
With the harmonica, you also get access to online 30-day harmonica lessons directly from Hohner. The lesson is in English.
