HOHNER BASS 78 –Orchestral Bass Harmonica

THE BIG BASS

In almost all music, the bass is the bottom line, theanchor that holds the whole thing together. This is just as true for harmonicaensembles as any other line-up. It’s not a simple matter to build a reedinstrument that can respond with the speed and volume which group performancedemands, especially in the low register down to E2, but our professional Bassharmonicas are made to do just that. They feature a hinged two partconstruction and each channel contains two reeds, tuned one octave apart,giving a remarkably rich and powerful sound. Here too, the lower reed of eachpair is located on the inner rows to ensure balanced microphoning andaccentuate the bass. As with the Chord 48, our Bass harmonicas have now beenredesigned to optimize volume, handling and maintenance. The mouthpiece isintegrated into the new acrylic comb construction for unparalleled airtightnessand the full screw together assembly ensures ease of maintenance. The Bass 78is the larger of our two bass models, with a range of E2 - C5, perfect for theambitious bass player in any type of harmonica ensemble.
