Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (9 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This is my second."
Feature: My previous Chromnica was in the key of G because that is my voice range. This one is in C for ease of use when accompanying others and playing sheet music without transposition. Quality: The wood finish on my previous Super Chromonica started to blister a bit. Value: I give it a 10 because I got it when it was on sale for 20% off. The Wow Factor: I had one before but it got lost somewhere during my travels. So... I just got myself ANOTHER one!
Style of Music: Folk, church, Byzantine, my musical taste is eclectic.

"Hohner Super Chromatic Harmonica -- A great harmonica in a league of its own"
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. 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.
Style of Music: blues, jazz, rock, cross-country, country, popular, etc.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission.
