Classic Harmonica As always, the Classic harmonica is exclusively handmade. Horner's diatonic harmonica sets the industry standard through high quality construction, excellent response and unsurpassed tone. Often called 'Blues Harps', it has been a fixture as melody and accompaniment instruments in blues, rock, country, and folk bands, as well as many other styles of music and musical ensembles. Richter tuning and undivided air channels allow for bending and overblowing the reeds, creating the signature wailing sound typical of the harmonica. Its uniquely authentic sound has defined the role of the harmonica in the blues tradition and made it the benchmark harp by which all others are judged. Every single feature combines to create the legendary sound which can be heard on countless classic blues recordings from the 1920s to the present day. Harmonica Construction It is tuned to key of C and also available in other 12 major keys, lower and higher octave, and minor tunings. It features 20 classic reeds, 0.9 mm brass reed plates, mounted with nails. This is the essence of the Classic line - traditional values and cutting edge technology. Extremely precise tools minimize air loss and ensure a quicker response and bigger volume. The classic harmonica is exclusively handmade.
