A pocket-sized legend: the Marine Band Classic harmonica has been a blues mainstay for over 100 years and is one of the world's most loved and most recognisable harps. This instrument has been in production since 1896 and has found its way onto countless hits and soundtracks that helped write music history. The Marine Band Classic features a pear wood comb that's been carefully sealed in lacquer to increase moisture resistance and prevent warping. The reed plate has been made from copper and finished with twenty copper reeds which here, are tuned in D-major. All of this is protected by stainless steel cover plates engraved with the iconic Marine Band stamp, retaining a traditional look, while the combination of pear wood with copper produces naturally warm yet expressive and raw notes, and irresistibly rich, full chords.
