The Hohner Chromonica III 270C 64-Tone Harmonica is a 16-hole, 64-tone slide chromatic harmonica in ‘C’ tuning, offering 4 octaves for extensive tonal range.
Throughout the years, this has been Stevie Wonder's preferred style of harmonica, and with good reason: ultimate sonic capability. Four complete octaves extending above and below middle C give you limitless options for expression. Not leaving any of the notes out means total control to take your music wherever you want to go. This harp is probably more than you'll ever need; the world of music enlightenment at your fingertips. Every serious player needs one of these in their bag of tricks.
When HOHNER introduced the first ever 10 hole slide chromatic harmonica in 1912, nobody could have foreseen how successful the concept would be. This tradition is still going strong today. The design was awarded a US patent in 1928 and has been marketed under the name Chromonica since 1938. Thanks to continual upgrades, the Chromonica series not only remains the world's best selling chromatic harmonica, but is also the basis for all subsequent developments in this field, one of the timeless Hohner inventions which have defined the harmonica history of the past hundred years.
