Blowin’ Up A Storm.

A new dimension of deep-toned harmonica playing!  Named in tribute to a song by Little Walter and a band fronted by virtuoso blues harp player Kim Wilson, the Marine Band Thunderbird combines Hohner’s leading edge innovation with cover plates designed by legendary customizer Joe Filisko to create the benchmark for low key harmonicas.  This revolutionary new model offers unprecedented volume and response in the low register, with virtually no reed rattle.  Break new ground with the meanest, fattest low-down sound around! Minor, natural minor and custom tunings available at an additional cost.
