Hohner Marine Band 1896
When the Marine Band was first introduced to the American market in 1896, no one could have foreseen the lasting impact this instrument would have on the future of popular music. The affordable price and small size made it the perfect travelling companion. This was the starting point of our Marine Band Series, which has gone on to play a key role in unleashing the raw emotion of the blues, the free spirit of country, or the energy of rock ’n’ roll.
From the classic 1896 to the modern Crossover, the Marine Band Series offers a range of genre-defining instrument, which are the choice for countless leading harmonica artists today. All instruments of the Marine Band Series are made in Germany.
