Beware cheap harmonicas
Numerous cheap harmonicas are available in stores and on line. Their packaging is easy on the eye and prices are easy on the pocket; they’re designed to make sales. We believe the harmonica is a musical instrument, not something for the toy box. You’ll find our featured models reliable, well tuned and responsive. Their quality promotes good music learning and enjoyment.

Hohner Blues Bender £21.99 (plus P&P) Entry level 10 hole harmonica
The Blues Bender is a decent place to begin on a metal harmonica both in quality and price, and still easy on the pocket. It won’t make you an instant blues harp expert or provide a short cut to reed bending, however it will certainly make the journey easier. The Blues Bender is more airtight, has better tone and is more responsive than the Silver Star and other budget 10 hole models. It comes with a standard UPVC comb with a big sound. The Big River comes in C Major, but can also be ordered in D, E, F, G, A, and Bb.
Hohner Big River £28.99 (plus P&P) Entry level plus 10 hole pro model
The Big River is a cost-effective and very reliable transitional harp. Airtight and less expensive than other 10 hole models, it comes with a standard UPVC comb and a big sound.

The Special 20 has been a mainstay for harmonica players for nearly forty years. With airtight reed plates and a black UPVC comb, this harp is beautifully responsive, with a warm tone.

The Special 20 is supplied in all major keys.
Hohner Marine Band £39.99 (plus P&P) Recommended 10 hole pro model
The Hohner Marine Band is the original blues harmonica. Its pear wood comb and pinned cover plates have been standard issue for decades and its warm tone is behind many classic original blues and country recordings. Later Hohner models were developed from the Marine Band, which took its name from John Philip Sousa’s famous military ensembles. The channels are standard gauge, which promotes rapid movement around the instrument, while the standard harp size means easier use of hand effects. The Marine Band is supplied in all major keys.

What makes the Crossover such a hit is its watertight comb, made from bamboo, clarity of tone, air-tightness and excellent performance response.
