Hohner Chromonica 270 C

Complete 12-note octaves with all the sharps and flats can be played on a Chromatic Harmonica. Each single hole contains four reeds; a blow reed and a draw reed for two natural notes as well as a blow reed and a draw reed for two chromatic notes. A side sliding button is pushed to activate the chromatic notes, which closes off the airflow from one set of reeds and enables the other set to vibrate. All Hohner chromatics except the Koch and Slide Harp are solo tuned, meaning each group of four holes covers a complete octave.

The top choice of many discriminating harmonica artists, Hohner's Super Chromonica features a warm pearwood body with a smooth chrome-plated mouthpiece. This solo tuned 48-reed model has a full three octave chromatic range.

These instruments were designed and constructed to specifications provided by harmonica legend Toots Thielemans. Toots recommends his Mellow Tone signature model for ballads and classical compositions and his Hard Bopper's thicker reedplate for blues or rock. These three octave chromatics feature pearwood combs and chrome-plating on both covers and mouthpiece.
