For 150 years, Hohnert -- the world's biggest manufacturer of harmonicas -- has proudly maintained a tradition of high quality instrument making. Our mission is to offer a diverse range of models designed to meet the needs of every musician in today's musical climate.

Tireless investment in research and development, combined with knowledge that has been cultivated for decades, insures our high quality standards -- both now and in the future. By working in close co-operation with the most renowned professional harmonica players, we ensure that our instruments remain on the cutting edge of the industry. Our up-to-date manufacturing process uses special alloys and precise stamping and milling tools to produce reeds of optimal sound quality, responsiveness and longevity.

Hohner's long standing dedication to harmonica excellence has inspired a loyal following among players from all walks of life; young and old, amateur and professional.

Hohnor's Diatonic
Hohner's diatonic harmonicas set the industry standard through their high quality construction, excellent response and unsurpassed tone. Often called "Blues Harps", they have been a fixture as melody and accompaniment instruments in blues, rock, country, and folk bands, as well as many other styles of music and musical ensembles. Richter tuning and undivided air channels allow for bending and overblowing the reeds, creating the signature wailing sound typical of the harmonica.

The XB-40: A Diatonic Revolution
The revolutionary design of the XB-40 allows for the bending of every note, whether blown or drawn. This capability not only offers incomparable expression alternatives, but it also enables the use of all notes of the chromatic scale just by using the standard bending technique. In addition, the design and shape of the XB-40 generates a volume and tone that no traditional diatonic harp can achieve.
