The State of the Art – Back to the Roots
With the Marine Band Deluxe, we’ve brought the incomparable sound of the original blues harmonica
into the 21st century. By incorporating design improvements which optimize handling and ensure
greater volume and faster response, we reinvented the legendary Marine Band harmonica to meet the
requirements of today’s musicians. The Marine Band Deluxe is more than just a state of the art
upgrade to our benchmark diatonic harp. It’s the rediscovery of deep emotions, the awakening of
forgotten spirits, the revival of hidden energies. With the Marine Band Deluxe, you’ll bring
the blues to life!
