Made in Germany
Hohner builds every model in its Marine Band series in Germany, from the 1896 to the Crossover. The harp ships in a modern plastic case that snaps shut, easy to slip into a bag.
In E, the blow gives E, G sharp (A flat on Hohner's chart) and B. Drawing on holes 1 to 4 brings together F sharp, B, D sharp and F sharp: a B chord. Only F and F sharp sit higher in Hohner's standard range.
