Product Description

The Big River Harp is the result of Hohner's automated Modular System (MS) production. It features improved reed design for long life and bright tone, airtight body for increased volume, contoured covers that project sound and are comfortable to hold. Comes with an attractive case. The abbreviation "MS" is an integrated concept in harmonica design. All individual MS parts (combs, reed plates and covers) can be combined and integrated with any of the MS harmonicas. Customize your harp with features that matter to you. Simple screw connections allow for easy assembly. Screws also allow for easy access to the reed plates, giving the player the ability to adjust the instrument to their own personal requirements.

I bought this harmonica for my grandson to go with a key of C version that I had given him previously. He is very happy with both of them and by having these two different keys they are more compatible with the music written for other instruments that he plays. Some day I'll get myself one of these in Bb too.

It has been my experience that this harp will go out of tune faster than the marine band. Everything has its specific use. This is a really good practice harp. I carry one with me everywhere I go. Bb is a good key for Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Junior Wells. Although this probably should not be your first harp. I would personally recommend an A harp but C is a good choice as well for a beginner.
