The Hohner Blues Harp E Major is a classic 10‑hole diatonic harmonica designed for players who want a rich, gritty blues tone with plenty of expression. Tuned to E Major, it is ideal for playing along with guitarists and bands working in E, making it a smart choice for jam nights, rehearsals and live sets. Whether you are stepping up from a basic starter harp or you are an experienced player adding keys to your gig bag, the Blues Harp offers the familiar feel and sound that have made it a favourite for blues, rock and folk for decades.
Features
Warm wooden comb character
The doussie wood comb gives the Blues Harp a warm, full-bodied tone with the natural feel many players prefer. A carefully sealed finish resists moisture, helping the comb stay stable and comfortable during long playing sessions while preserving that classic, earthy sound associated with wooden-bodied harps.
MS modular design
Part of Hohner’s MS system, the Blues Harp features interchangeable components, including reed plates, covers and comb. This modular approach makes maintenance straightforward and extends the life of the instrument, while also letting players tailor response and tone with compatible MS parts if desired.
Responsive brass reeds
Precision brass reeds on 0.9 mm plates provide a quick, even response and reliable note bending, essential for expressive blues phrasing. The airtight build promotes stable intonation and dynamic control, so you can move from subtle comping to punchy leads with confidence.
Gig-ready durability
Stainless steel cover plates protect the reed plates and comb while allowing sound to project clearly. A protective case is included to keep the harmonica safe between lessons, rehearsals and gigs, making it a dependable tool for daily practice and regular performance.
