The chromatic harmonica was revolutionary when it was first released over 100 years ago 
and its unmistakable sound has helped define jazz, blues, pop and classical music 
ever since its inception. Today, the Hohner Chromonica is still the blueprint for 
all modern chromatic harmonicas.

Its unique sound can be both soft and powerful, equally capable of haunting melodies
as well as searing jazz licks. Our Chromonica Series embodies the spirit which inspired
Hohner to create the original and is perfect for both beginners and advanced players 
who are looking for the feel and dynamics of great artists such as Larry Adler or 
Toots Thielemans.

The Little Bit More
Sometimes you just need a little bit more to fully express how you feel. When Sonny Boy Williamson II discovered 
the rich, deep toned sound of the 12 hole Echo Vamper harmonica, it inspired him to record one of his best known 
pieces, Bye Bye Bird, dedicated to the great Charlie Parker. Now known as the Marine Band 364/24, very little has 
changed since Sonny Boy first played this classic harp except the engraving on the top cover and the color of the 
comb. You always felt there was something missing from your perfect blues tune? The 364/24 just might be it!

Hohner Chromonica 64C

The Big Chromatic
When it came on the market in 1938, the 64 Chromonica was the first 
chromatic to boast a range of over four octaves. Thanks to the 
additional bottom octave, it took the tonal range of the harmonica 
into registers where it had never before been heard, as well as 
brought many pieces from the classical repertoire within the reach of 
the instrument. It also enabled the eerie, deep-toned growl and full 
chords of amplified chromatic harp which swiftly became an integral 
part of the blues tradition,a sound which lives on to this day. 
It defined the industry standard for professional quality 4 octave 
chromatics and has gone on to inspire generations of players in blues, 
soul, jazz and classical music. Whether you play alone or in a band, 
if you’re looking for a real workhorse 64 chromatic it’s still 
your best bet.
