Description
The Hohner Blues Harp Harmonica is a classic 10‑hole diatonic designed for players who want that unmistakable, gritty blues voice with rich overtones and expressive bends. It suits keen beginners moving past their first harp as well as developing players who want a reliable, gig‑ready instrument for blues, rock, folk and country.

Features
Expressive blues tone
The Blues Harp is voiced for the earthy, punchy sound that suits blues and roots styles, with an immediate attack and a warm, slightly gritty character. It offers excellent responsiveness for bends and vibrato, letting you shape notes cleanly across the range for soulful solos or rhythmic accompaniment.
Sealed wooden comb comfort
A sealed wooden comb provides the classic warmth many players love, while improving stability and comfort during longer sessions. The sealing helps resist moisture and swelling, supporting consistent airtightness and smoother playability over time.
MS modular design
As part of Hohner’s MS (Modular System) range, the Blues Harp features replaceable reed plates and screw‑together construction. This makes maintenance straightforward and extends the instrument’s working life, so you can keep it performing at its best with simple part swaps when needed.
Durable covers and reliable intonation
Stainless steel cover plates add durability and a comfortable feel in the hands, while precisely set brass reeds deliver stable tuning and dependable response. Whether you are practising at home or playing with a band, the instrument holds its pitch and projects clearly.
Lesson friendly and portable
Supplied in a protective case and available in the key most teachers recommend for starters, the Blues Harp is ideal for lessons, rehearsals and travel. Its compact size fits any gig bag or school backpack, making it a practical choice for everyday use.
