The Classic Sound of the Blues! John Lennon, Paul Butterfield, Little Walter, Neil Young, and just about every serious musician who has played blues-style harp…
The Marine Band 1896 is the original blues harmonica. Virtually unchanged since its 1896 patent, this legendary instrument captures the true depth of the blues like nothing else and sets the standard by which all others are measured. Though first created for European folk music, it soon found its voice in early 20th-century American blues, becoming the instrument of choice for harmonica players of that era.
It carries the sound of heartbreak and late-night dancing, of wide-open prairies and smoky clubs. More than just a harmonica, the Marine Band 1896 invites you to express yourself freely and unlock your musical creativity. When you pick up this living piece of musical history, you won’t simply play the blues — you’ll experience them.
