Een diatonische mondharmonica die traditionele paardenhouten kam-geluid combineert met Hohner's modulaire MS rietenplaat-systeem voor gemakkelijk onderhoud, met een warm houtig karakter en goed buigingsrespons voor bluesmusici.
The Hohner Blues Harp MS remains the quintessential 'dirty' blues harmonica for players who find plastic combs too sterile. Its defining feature is the doussie (pearwood) comb, which imparts a dark, woody resonance and a tactile grit that feels right at home in a smoky Chicago-style shuffle. Unlike the classic Marine Band 1896, the MS (Modular System) construction uses screws rather than nails, making it a dream for intermediate players who want to experiment with gapping or simply need to replace reed plates without a workshop.
In terms of playability, the reed response is tactile and favors aggressive bending. However, the trade-off for that organic tone is the comb's susceptibility to moisture; players who 'play wet' might find the wood swelling over long sessions, which can lead to lip chafing. Compared to the Special 20, the Blues Harp feels more industrial and slightly less airtight out of the box, requiring a bit more 'lung' to get the same projection. Nevertheless, for the price, it offers a distinct tonal personality that sits perfectly in a mix of overdriven tube amps. It is the ideal bridge for the player moving past beginner models who wants a traditional aesthetic with modern serviceability.
