Hohner Toots Mellow Tone C

The Classical and Ballad Legend
Not many artists could handle the chromatic harmonica as incredibly well as 
Jean-Baptiste Fréderic Isidor, Baron Thielemans, better known as Toots Thielemans. 
He was the most iconic Jazz harmonica player of the 20th century and played with 
artists like Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jaco Pastorius. He served as a 
great influence to many others, including John Lennon.
To honor this Jazz legend with only one instrument would have not done him justice, 
which is why we teamed up with him and designed two instruments to his specifications. 
The Toots Mellow Tone is the first of the two, with short slot reeds and thin reed 
plates for a rich, warm sound perfect for ballads.

Wooden comb
The wooden comb ensures a warm, rich sound and is lacquered to eliminate swelling

Special cover plates
The cover plates are embossed with Toots' signature and a serial number

Chrome-plated mouthpiece
Outstanding sliding properties thanks to the chrome plating

Coated reed plates
The coating allows for a better articulation and fast and precise response of single notes
