Hohner

The Hohner Big River Harp in B flat (Bb) is a 10-hole diatonic harmonica that plays blues in F and melodies in B flat. It stores in the plastic snap case that comes with it.

What sets it apart

  • F chord on the draw: blues in F
  • B flat 3 on hole 1, fourth up from the lowest
  • Note shared by hole 2 draw and hole 3 blow: F
  • Supplied in a plastic snap case

For tunes in F and B flat

On this B flat harp, the blow gives B flat, D and F; drawing on holes 1 to 4 gives C, F, A and C, an F chord. Blues in F therefore starts from hole 2 draw.

From low to high, B flat ranks fourth among Hohner's 12 standard keys, one semitone above A. The harp stores in its plastic snap case, which Hohner calls a Snapcase.
