Hohner 64 Chromonica - The Big Chromatic

When it came on the market in 1938, the 64 Chromonica was the first chromatic to boast a range of over four octaves. Thanks to the additional bottom octave, it took the tonal range of the harmonica into registers where it had never before been heard, as well as brought many pieces from the classical repertoire within the reach of the instrument. It also enabled the eerie, deep-toned growl and full chords of amplified chromatic harp which swiftly became an integral part of the blues tradition, a sound which lives on to this day. It defined the industry standard for professional quality 4 octave chromatics and has gone on to inspire generations of players in blues, soul, jazz and classical music. Whether you play alone or in a band, if you’re looking for a real workhorse 64 chromatic it’s still your best bet.

I was initially forced to join the sorrowful chorus on the bad business end of a poorly assembled 280C. However, having a history of great tone, performance and overall reliability with Hohner harps, I wasn't ready to throw in the towel and cry refund.Sure enough, Amazon sprang into action without hesitation. They immediately replaced my Chromatica and.it quickly arrived ready to rock (actually Jazz, but whatever you feed your reeds is cool). Back to the reason for 5 stars.Anything made can come with issues, we don't buy products from themselves. We look to the manufacturer or sellers to be "stand up" guys. So, I couple my history as a Prime customer with this encounter to call win-win on this one. Very pleased with the instrument. Thanks Amazon and Hohner for coming through again!

Sto suonando da tempo con una Suzuki SCX 48, bellissimo strumento con suono calibrato e potente, e ho sempre suonato con delle 12 fori. Per curiosità, visto il prezzo, ho deciso di prendere questa Chromonica 280 più per la sua fama che per quello che potevo aspettami qualitativamente. Appena la estraggo dalla custodia mi ritrovo uno strumento con la "S" maiuscola, bellissimo, senza scritte di marca sul comb (cosa che non mi ha mai fatto impazzire), in perfetto stile retrò, assolutamente né pesante né ingombrante per una 16 fori. Inizio a suonarla e nemmeno il Do più basso è afono: tutti i fori perfettamente reattivi e senza perdite di aria. Il sedicesimo foro non emette suoni striduli. Il suono è simile a quello della Chromonica 270 ma più caldo, rotondo, potente, pieno, avvolgente e meno acuto. I 4 fori bassi sono profondi e amplificati diventano veramente attraenti. Slide scattante, una bomba. Comprare una 16 fori mi ha fatto capire quanto può essere veramente interessante a livello creativo, soprattutto nell'improvvisazione jazz e in particolare in pezzi più lenti e pigri, come per esempio 'Round Midnight, Blue in Green, Summertime, etc..., dove i fori più bassi possono veramente offrire delle opzioni interessanti. Con una 12 fori si può fare di tutto e sinceramente quei 4 fori in piú non sono essenziali, ma un'armonica cromatica é piú piccola di uno smartphone, dunque perché rinunciare a quel qualcosa in piú solo per risparmiare 4-5 cm di lunghezza? La 280 mi sta tranquillamente nella tasca del cappotto, e sinceramente i 4 fori bassi stanno diventando sempre di più una variante creativa nei miei assoli. Inoltre mi piace il suo suono, così potente e pieno, struggente e d'altri tempi. Probabilmente la suonerei ugualmente anche se non mi interessasse l'ottava i più. Per il resto esistono bassi a 5 corde, chitarre a 12, batterie con decine di piatti e tom, e un pianoforte completo ha più di 7 ottave... Risparmiare un'ottava nell'armonica cromatica, come già detto, significa risparmiare qualche centimetro che non darebbe comunque maggior fastidio... ha senso?
