Made famous by Howard Levy, the GOlde Melody Diatonic Haromnica is Hohner's only equal tempered professional diatonic, the Golden Melody really brings out the sweetness of a melody line, either in solo or group ensemble playing. Although commonly found in folk and country situations, the Golden Melody remains a popular choice for blues and rock as well. The old-time look and feel is an added attraction on live gigs.
Hohner Diatonic Harmonicas
For 150 years, Hohner's diatonic harmonicas set the industry standard through high quality construction, excellent response and unsurpassed tone. Often called Blues Harps, they remain a fixture in blues, rock, country, folk, and many other styles of music. Traditional Richter tuning and undivided air channels allow for techniques such as bending and overblowing reeds, creating the signature wailing sound typical of the harmonica.
