HOHNER 125th ANNIVERSARY MARINE BAND C BOX
The legend turned 125!
January 30th, 2021 marks the 125th anniversary of the most iconic and influential
harmonica model of all time – the HOHNER Marine Band. Since 1896, it has stood for
craftsmanship, quality and the spirit of HOHNER around the world, helping create the
musical history of the 20th century. To mark the occasion, we are releasing a special
edition replica of the instrument that shaped the music of legends like Little Walter or
Sonny Terry and is still synonymous with blues harmonica today.
