"Hohner Super Chromatic Harmonica -- A great harmonica in a league of its own"

Quality:
My only complaint about the superchromatic is that I have had two crack along the back wood causing two reed chambers to run together. This was probably cause by washing. The fix is actually quite simple though....fill the crack with a flexible plastic or synthetic wood cement. I would hesitate to use anything rigid like JB Weld in the wood.

Sound:
I have now acquired superchromatics in almost every key. They are very adaptable to any kind of music and are easy to play by ear once you have got your left brain in touch with your right index (slide button) finger. I play them absoulutely effortlessly in all different genres of music now. I very rarely use a diatonic any more.

Ease of Use:
These things sound great as long as you have them mastered and you keep them clean and the slide well lubed. Yes they do require maintenance.

Style of Music: blues, jazz, rock, cross-country, country, popular, etc.

Hohner Super Chromonica Customer Review

Value:
Not the cheapest by any means, but you get what you pay for.

Sound:
This is what a chromatic harmonica should sound like.

Ease of Use:
I have three chromatic harmonicas; Seydel, Hering and the super chromonica. This is the easiest to play.

Overall:
If I could have only one harmonica, this would be the one.

About This Product!
Description
News
Chromatic harmonicas are designed to play every complete scale in any key -- major, minor, pentatonic, blues, etc. -- all on one instrument. Additionally, all accidental notes are available at any time for any situation.

Each single hole contains four reeds; two natural notes and two chromatic notes. The reeds for the chromatic notes are enabled by pushing a slide button on the side of the harmonica. Most chromatics are solo tuned, which means each group of four single holes covers a complete octave.

This design offers a wealth of new musical options to the player. Most commonly chromatic harmonicas are heard within the classical and jazz scenes, but often these harmonicas are used for blues, folk, rock and pop as well.

Airtight construction and superior reed response give Hohner's standard chromatic harmonicas an unsurpassed sound quality. The quick, easy initiation of each individual tone makes them a favorite for players of all levels.

The industry standard.
The classic all-round chromatic harmonica, suitable for all styles.

Choice of the world's leading Harmonica artists, the solo tuned Super Chromonica has a three octave chromatic range beginning at middle C. Contains 48 reeds, fitted with special wind saving valves. The precision crafted pearwood comb is optimized for superior reed response over its complete range, from the mellow low octave to the bright and clear top octave.
