HOHNER Chromonica 270/48 A
THE LEGEND LIVES ON
Whether it’s a melody from a long forgotten movie or a tune from childhood that you keep
hearing in your head, we all have certain songs that are imbedded in our memory and take us
back in time. With the Super Chromonica, we can recapture those moments. Almost unchanged
since its inception, it’s still the original chromatic harmonica and the instrument of choice
for generations of players who have left their mark in folk, pop and jazz.
