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.
