  • Hohner Golden Melody

    Harmonica · Germany

    Hohner's only professional diatonic harmonica tuned to equal temperament, which lets it play in tune across all positions and keys and has long made it a favorite for single-note melody and jazz playing. It is a 10-hole, 20-reed Richter-layout harmonica; the current Golden Melody Progressive pairs brass reed plates with an ABS comb and stainless-steel covers, and was redesigned for better airtightness and handling.
