The Little Bit More
Sometimes you just need a little bit more to fully express how you feel. When Sonny Boy Williamson II discovered
the rich, deep toned sound of the 12 hole Echo Vamper harmonica, it inspired him to record one of his best known
pieces, Bye Bye Bird, dedicated to the great Charlie Parker. Now known as the Marine Band 364/24, very little has
changed since Sonny Boy first played this classic harp except the engraving on the top cover and the color of the
comb. You always felt there was something missing from your perfect blues tune? The 364/24 just might be it!
