Hohner Super Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica Reviews

"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.

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.
