Revered since 1896, it delivers the authentic, full-tone sound that defined early American blues and remains a top choice for musicians blending traditional and modern styles. ## Description Product Description The Marine Band 1896 is the archetypal blues harmonica. Almost unchanged since it was patented in 1896, this iconic instrument embodies the real deep blues like no other and is the benchmark against which all others are judged. Initially designed for European folk music, it quickly became a prominent voice of American blues of the early 20th century, played by all harmonica players of this era. It’s the soundtrack of broken hearts and dancing all night, of endless prairies and sweaty nightclubs. Like no other harmonica, the Marine Band 1896 is an invitation to express yourself in music, a key to unlock your creativity. When you discover this piece of living musical history, you won’t just play the blues. You’ll feel the blues.

I want unused due to obvious hygiene reasons. Thanks** A: No it’s come in the plastic box and is wrapped up . It is new . **Q: Are the cover plates nailed on or screwed on? Thanks** A: They're screwed in (flat groove, not Philips) - although the groove is so small you would need a precision screwdriver set to remove them. I've not had the need to do this, though. **Q: Hows this different to a hohner blues harp? Im a beginner wanting to play along with my guitar, which is best ?** A: Hi friend, with the G harp you’ll have a great easy to learn instrument. A blues harp is a mouth organ/harmonica, albeit under the ‘banner’ of the blues harp. If you’re gonna play in a band, you may wanna consider get’n a set of harps over the time (depending on the key you’re playing in), on the premise, that not everything you’ll play will be in C .
