Dave MoffatReviewed 06/11/2023I've purchased harmonicas from here a few times; every time it came in perfect condition. Very happy with service!
Arturas VaitkusReviewed 26/03/2023Rock
As rock is effectively derived from the blues, it's no surprise that the diatonic harmonica features in a significant number of rock songs. The most famous and, perhaps, unique harmonica sound in hard rock has to be Robert Plant's harmonica line in the Led Zeppelin song 'When the Levee Breaks'. Plant played this on the original recording on a Hohner Super Vamper in Bb, playing in second position to match the song's key of F. Reverse echo was added in post production to give the harmonica its trademark sound.

Hohner Blues Harp MS
£35.99
12 Keys available
The brand name ”Blues Harp® “ has attained cult status in the contemporary music scene. The Hohner Blues Harp MS model features a functional design combining a wooden comb, high covers without side vents and high quality reed plates to give the instrument its typical bluesy sound, which has made it immensely popular with beginning and intermediate players alike. Every now and again, a branded article achieves such a high degree of success and widespread distribution that the brand name becomes synonymous with the generic product. This has certainly been the case with the Hohner Blues Harp®, now well into its fifth decade as one of Hohner‘s most popular diatonic model. Part of the MS range of modular harmonicas, the Blues Harp shares some of its features, such as the reed plates, with the Pro Harp and Big River, with which all of its parts are interchangeable. The major difference between the Blues Harp and its MS siblings is the doussie wood comb, which provides a slightly warmer sound than the ABS comb on the Pro Harp and Big River, or the alloy comb on the Meisterklasse MS. Tuning is slightly closer to equal temperament than on the Special 20 or Marine Band models, making this the ideal harmonica for playing single note runs. Reeds: 20. Reed Plate: Brass, 0.9mm. Keys: C Major, Db Major, D Major, Eb Major, E Major, F Major, F# Major, G Major, Ab Major, A Major, Bb Major, B Major. Comb: Wood. Series: Modular System. Plastic snap box. ... Read more
Hohner Little Lady Harmonica
£11.99
The Hohner Little Lady is the smallest harmonica in the World. It is fully playable and was the first instrument to be played in outer space in 1965. The Little Lady was made worldwide famous in 1965 when Walter Schirra, commander of the Gemini 6 manned space flight mission, used one to play “Jingle Bells” for the his team at Ground Control. With an overall length of only 3.5 cm (1.38 inches) it is the smallest playable series manufactured harmonica in the World and shares the same high technical standards as its larger siblings.
Note: This is the German made version of the Little Lady, featuring a pearwood comb, not the Chinese made plastic comb model, which, in our view, is inferior.
You can also pick up the Hohner 360° Collectors Edition Harmonica that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the remarkable occasion when Walter Schirra played the Hohner Little Lady harmonica in outer space here

Hohner Marine Band 1896 Classic
£32.99
32 Keys available
The Hohner Marine Band 1896 Classic harmonica is the original blues harmonica. Today it is still manufactured in much the same way as when it was first introduced in 1896. Its uniquely authentic sound has defined the role of the harmonica in the blues tradition and made it the benchmark by which all others are judged. Like the original Marine Band, the current 1896 model uses traditional long slot brass reeds, an open back and a pearwood comb to provide the warm and raspy tone beloved of blues, folk and country players throughout the world. Unlike older models, however, it doesn't use 7 Limit Just Intonation, but instead utilises a modern compromise tuning. This is closer to Just than many of Hohner's other harmonicas, such as the MS range, but still allows single note melodies to sound pure and sweet. The Marine Band Classic is one of the few Hohner diatonics that is available in a full range of natural and harmonic minor tunings. For low tunings, we recommend the Hohner Thunderbird, which has been designed from the ground up as a low tuned harmonica, but still has similar tone and feel to the classic Marine Band. Should you wish to replace reed plates on the Marine Band Classic, we recommend upgrading to the Andrew Zajac Marine Band Conversion Kit, which replaces the stock nails with a bolted setup, and makes the process of changing reed plates significantly easier. Original cover design from 1896 ensures the classic blues sound Greatly reduced swelling behaviour through double-coated pear wood comb Reeds: 20 Brass Reed Plates: 0.9mm brass Comb: Pearwood, brown Mouthpiece: pearwood lacquered Cover surface: Stainless steel Made in Germany Check the Key for additional tuning options: Natural Minor & Harmonic Minor ...

Hohner Marine Band Crossover Harmonica
£64.99
13 Keys available
The Hohner Marine Band Crossover is the top of the line standard tuned harmonica within the brand's Marine Band series of traditional wood comb harps. Responding to the needs of professional players who wanted an instrument that combined the tone and feel of a wood comb with the swell resistance and durability of modern designs like the Special 20, Hohner created the Crossover, which features a unique bamboo comb, and precision-tuned reed plates, all wrapped up in a compact, Marine Band style body. The laminated bamboo comb gives the Crossover an exceptionally light feel in the hands, and also allows for class - leading flatness. This greatly facilitates airtightness, which makes the Crossover an extremely responsive harp, with easy access to precise bends, and the ability to overblow, if required. In fact, it is one of the most airtight production harmonicas on the market, meaning that less of your effort is lost to leakage, allowing even beginners to start bending notes almost immediately! The comb also features Supaglide lacquer applied to all surfaces, which not only adds an extra barrier to moisture, but also greatly facilitates the playing of rapid licks as the surface is ultra smooth and friction free. The Crossover's temperament is a modern compromise tuning - marginally closer to equal temperament than the Marine Band 1896 or Deluxe. This makes it ideal for single note melody playing, whilst maintaining the ability to play chords. Tolerances between reed and reed plate are exceptionally good on this harp, as is the consistency of reed adjustment, making this feel more like a custom harmonica than an off the shelf model. Reeds: 20 Brass Reed Plates: 0.9mm, Brass Number of holes: 10 Cover surface: stainless steel Mouthpiece surface: SuperGlide lacquer Comb: bamboo, blond Now Also available in key G High ... Read more

£94.99
9 Keys available
The Hohner Marine Band Thunderbird is tuned one octave lower than standard harps, and it opens up previously unknown creative possibilities for the player to discover new worlds of tone with the meanest, fattest low-pitched sound around. The Thunderbird‘s unique cover design is based on an innovation pioneered by Joe Filisko. The front of the bottom cover is raised at the lower end and tapers off towards the high end.

The Thunderbird boasts a full, powerful sound unparalleled among low-pitched harmonicas.

NOTE: All keys except now in stock. The PentaHarp is built for all musicians, not just harmonica players!

The PentaHarp’s intuitive design is easier to understand so you don’t have to use advanced techniques to get the notes that you know will work. You can play melodies and solos effortlessly! The Pentatonic scale is one of the most useful scales in popular music. Guitarists know this scale as “Playing in the Box”. Play any of these notes in the right key and you can’t play a wrong note. Hohner took this a step further by adding what is known as the “Blue Note”. This additional note adds a chromatic run for extra expression and is known to many as the “Blues Scale”. To play this scale on a standard harmonica you would have to perfect advanced techniques that could take years to master. Unlike standard Richter-tuned harmonicas, there is no need to play in 2nd position or “Cross Harp” position. The PentaHarp is straightforward in its tuning. You can play in the same key the song is in or the same harmonica can play a song in a major key if it is the relative minor. The notes are laid out in such a way that you do not need to draw bend, blow bend or overblow to play a useful scale! ... Read more

Read moreMick Jagger - probably the artist who is more closely associated with the rock genre than any other - has been a harmonica player since the early days of The Rolling Stones, and contributed harp lines to many of their hits over the years, including 'Midnight Rambler' and 'Break the Spell'. Like many other harmonica players in the 1960s and 1970s he played Hohner harmonicas - usually Marine Bands or Blues Harps - but more recently he has been seen playing Lee Oskar harmonicas, and even has a signature model produced by the brand.
Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, has contributed countless harmonica lines to the band's hits, and like Mick Jagger, has had a signature harmonica made in his honour - in this case a 10 hole diatonic produced by Hohner with black cover plates engraved with his signature. His most famous harp work is probably on Aerosmith's power ballad classic 'Cryin'', which features a Dylanesque harmonica break towards the end of the song.
Best Harmonica for Rock
For general rock playing, a 10 hole diatonic from one of the major brands will be a good starting point. It's worth considering that playing rock in a band situation will usually require amplification, so budget for a decent mic, such as the Bulletini, an amp, and a harmonica, such as the Hohner Rocket Amp, that is designed for plugged in playing.
For those who want to replicate the sort of rapid riffs and solos that are normally played on electric guitar, alternate tunings can work well. Seydel offers two varieties of the Wilde tuning which are designed for major and minor rock riffs. Hohner offers the Pentaharp, which features the pentatonic tuning - something that will be familiar and intuitive to all rock guitarists.
