Hohner

A traditional blues harp that's specially made for 2nd-position note bending, which gives the blues its signature sound.

The Hohner 532 Blues Harp Harmonica helps you dig in deep and experience the raw power and grit of the blues. The Blues Harp is engineered for consistent volume and tone that's ideal for intense blues playing. The Hohner Blues Harp can hang with the toughest harmonica players on their most serious gigs. The Blues Harp is highly bendable and has a dirty, dark, hard rockin' sound. One of Hohner's classic models, the 532 Blues Harp is emphasizes the best qualities of blues harmonica playing. Hohner builds the Blues Harp with a wood comb and thin reeds, allowing for easier note bending. Musicians like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Lil' Ronnie Owens of the Grand Dukes have favored the Hohner Blues Harp for its power and bluesy tone.

About MS-Series harmonicas:
The acronym 'MS' stands for Modular System, an integrated concept of Hohner's harmonica designs. MS-series harmonicas benefit from innovations that improve their playing characteristics and also significantly facilitate maintenance and handling. All MS-series parts (combs, reed plates, and covers) can be combined individually. Simple screw connections allow for easy assembly. This benefit offers players the possibility to adjust the instruments to their individual requirements. For example, some players prefer the body of one model and the cover plates of another, and so a "custom hybrid" is possible for the discerning player. Replacement reeds are available (see item: RP565 MS Replacement Reed Plates).

A top leading brand in harmonicas, Hohner harps are distributed worldwide.

Fantastic Handling of Events

Overall:

I was very happy with this purchase. The particular brand of harmonica I purchased has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. Extremely affordable, the wood-combed blues harp allows for moderately fast, but very warm playing that takes to bending and overblowing quite well.  More than the product though, I was impressed by the service.  Originally this product did not arrive on time, as they had instead mistakenly sent me a completely different model and key of harmonica when I had a gig that next day I needed it for.  Distressed and a little peeved, I called them up and was impressed at how courteously and quickly they resolved the issue by next-day shipping the correct product just in time for the show.  The original mistake accounts for the less than perfect rating, but I am happy to know that I can be a valued customer from time to time and that they have the availability to rectify situations quickly and accurately.

Possibly My Favorite Hohner

It seems like all Hohners cost too much nowadays. What can ya do...

Overall:

I'd call myself an advanced beginner when it comes to harmonica playing. I only have a few harps but I always thought that Hohner Special 20s were and always would be my favorite. That might not be the case anymore. I haven't played it much yet but I am really digging this Blues Harp. The edges are very smooth and it feels great in your hands. The wood comb is something I never liked about Marine Bands, but this one seems much smoother and looks gorgeous. I also love the wide open back design for volume and the way that "HOHNER" is stamped on the back of the comb. It really looks sharp! The reeds are very responsive and easy to bend, but it is in the key of D which is the highest harp I own, so it is hard for me to judge. The fact that it is part of Hohner's MS or "Modular System" family is also pretty cool. That means they are super easy to take apart and replace with new parts should the need arise. I think I love this thing..

Not just for Blues Anymore

Overall:
I love these harps.  I've been a serious player for years now, and I've tried all the popular brands.  It may be sacrilege, but for my money I like the Blues Harp better than the Special 20.  The wood comb adds a warmer tone, and overall makes the harp more rugged.  The plastic comb on the Special 20 doesn't absorb moisture like the wood comb, which can sometimes contribute to blown reeds. Forget what they say about this being a "blues" harmonica.  I play in a rock and roll band, and Blues Harps are all I play.

Wonderful Harp

Overall:
This is an awesome sounding harmonica.  If you want you want a harmonica where you can dig in and really cry the blues, play single notes or use it for general purpose as I do then this is the harp for you.  It has a really deep, warm, rich and mellow sound, which I really like.  The tone is actually mellower than the Marine Band (which I also own).  It really allows for deep musical expression.  The tone and timbre of this instrument are very impressive.  It?s also very comfortable on the lips.  It?s easier to maneuver around on than Lee Oskar harmonicas.  (I play guitar so I need a harp that I can get around on quickly). Additionally, it?s well constructed and very air tight.  For me the Blues Harp really defines the way a harmonica should sound.  Really awesome harp, you can take it apart too if you need to.  My only problem is that it tends to slide around in my neck rack when I am playing but since this thing sounds so good that can be overlooked.
