Hohner Discovery 48C Chromatic Harmonica

The first HOHNER chromatic harmonica was released in the early years of the 20th century. So in the early 21st century, Hohner decided to commemorate the centenary of this historic occasion by unveiling our Discovery 48. While remaining true to the character of the original, its ergonomic design incorporates all the advantages of a 21st century instrument. The warm, mellow sound captivates listener and player alike and invokes the true essence of what the chromatic is all about.
