Hohner Marine Band Crossover Harmonica M2009

Exceptional sound and a sealed bamboo comb make it the professional player's go-to harp.




With the Marine Band Crossover Harmonica, Hohner
has expanded the Marine Band series to introduce a top-of-the-line,
professional-quality harmonica for discerning musicians who play modern
blues, rock, jazz, soul, or funk.

The Marine Band Crossover
Harmonica's revolutionary laminated-bamboo comb is completely sealed,
making it water repellent and exceptionally stable. In combination with
the screw-together assembly, the Marine Band Crossover is extremely
airtight, with fast, even response and a raspy, powerful sound that's
exceptionally well-suited to amplified playing as well as acoustic
styles.

The crossover Marine Band harmonica's modern-compromise
tuning is ideal for single-note playing in different positions as well
as easy note bending for contemporary blues, rock, jazz, soul, and funk,
while still ensuring a full chord sound. The Marine Band Crossover is
an optimal addition to the Marine Band harmonica series. The Marine Band
Crossover uses the same reedplates as Hohner's Marine Band Deluxe
harmonica for interchangeability.

Due to the Marine Band
Crossover's compromise tuning, chord playing is smooth and full and the
single notes also play nicely in-tune, so playing in positions other
then 1st and 2nd is not a problem for intonation. Because of the
airtight construction (a sealed comb and screws instead of nails to
attach the reedplates), bending, overblows, and overdraws are much
easier then on most other diatonic harps. This is great news for
beginners learning to bend and speedsters and overblowers out there
looking for an airtight harmonica that can keep up with their playing.

Testimonials about Hohner's Marine Band Crossover:

Dave
Gage: "One of the best-sounding and playing diatonic harmonicas
out-of-the-box. Great for players of all levels and musical styles and
worth the extra penny for the increased quality and playability. The
sound is bright, but not overly bright. It plays as well as expensive,
customized harmonicas."

Joe Filisko: "This Crossover is an
exceptional harmonica. I have to say that this is without any doubt the
best playing out-of-the-box harmonica that I've ever had my hands on.
It's a notable, substantial upgrade to the diatonics I have played. It
played very well. That's a big deal, because I trusted it. The tuning is
superb; responsiveness is excellent. It's very responsive. The bends
are right there."

Steve Baker: "As a Marine Band player for 40
years I really love the Crossover and am proud to have been closely
involved in its development from the very beginning. The first time I
played the very first prototype with a bamboo comb I was blown away by
the sound, volume, response and playing feel and thought 'this is it!' I
own a lot of custom harps, but this is what I use on stage because it's
tough, reliable, and both plays and sounds great."

Jerry
Portnoy: "The Marine Band Crossover is a terrific harp in every aspect:
beautiful, sealed bamboo comb; strong, attractive cover plates and; most
importantly, well tuned with good volume and projection; plus smooth,
responsive playability from bottom to top. It also comes in a handy and
unique zippered case. I've made it my personal harp of choice. Another
winner from Hohner!"

Phil Wiggins: "It's beautiful. It is nice right out of the box. Great tone. Great feel. I'm loving it."

Dennis
Gruenling: "I like the comb a lot: how it felt, how it responded, how
it sounded. The feel and response is closer to a custom Marine Band."

R.J.
Mischo: "The Crossover is a great instrument! I've been playing
professionally since 1979 and have tried all the models and this is the
best out-of-the-box harp yet."

David Barrett: "The Crossover is
Hohner's best harmonica to date . . . great feel, playability, and most
importantly, great sound! For those who want the great sound of our
forefathers but the playability of a modern-designed harmonica, put
Hohner's Crossover harmonica at the top of your shopping list."

James
Conway: "I needed a five overblow and it was there. To get a
rack-mounted, five overblow right out of the box—I was happy with that."
