The Hohner Marine Band Crossover Harmonica is specially designed for modern styles of music and single note playing. Players who perform rock, jazz, popular music as well as the blues will all love this instrument's powerful sound. This harmonica is assembled with screws, allowing easy access to the insides for maintenance. Reinforced cover plates with side vents and an open back produce that classic blues sound with a boost in volume and stability. If you own a Crossover harp then you will never need to worry about the Bamboo comb swelling over time. The natural properties of the wood and the two layers of lacquer with a third UltraGlide layer ensure that this is the case. The UltraGlide also results in a smooth experience on your lips that is more similar to plastic than wood. A sturdy zip-up case is provided to keep your harmonica safe from dust and allow moisture to evaporate.
