Back to the roots - state of the art.

For more than 100 years, the Marine Band has been the favorite harmonica of artists like Little Walter, Paul Butterfield and Kim Wilson. Ever since 1896, discerning professional harmonica players in search of an unmistakable and unique sound have played the Hohner Marine Band as their instrument of choice.

The Marine Band Deluxe is a contemporary addition to the Marine Band legacy. Combining the features of the legendary harmonica with a variety of state-of-the-art improvements, the Marine Band Deluxe produces greater volume and faster response while retaining the richness and power of the harmonica's classic sound.

The key features and benefits of the Marine Band Deluxe include:

  • The classic Marine Band sound
  • Improved cover design for greater volume and enhanced stability
  • Assembled with 3 reed plate screws and 4 cover screws to maximize air tightness and facilitate maintenance (which makes it service friendly)
  • Sealed pear wood comb
  • Rounded channel openings and outer corners for greater playing comfort.
  • The tuning is rooted somewhere between A=443 and A=445, using a light temperament, with 5 and 9 draw tuned sharper than the MB Classic
  • MB Deluxe has cover plate screws not nails, Deluxe has open back and heavier gauge screws holding down the reed plate. Also, Deluxe has triple lacquered front comb like a Crossover. The screws and heavy laquer alone make it worth the upgrade.
  • Includes a zip up pouch.

Reeds: 20
Reedplates: Brass; 0.9 mm;
Comb: sealed Pearwood
Length in cm: approx. 10.0
Available in these keys: G, Ab, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F ( They are not made in F# )

Horner harmonica

Could not believe how fast I received it with me living in tennessee. Great product. Packed so it would not get damaged in shipping. Will buy there again.

Great Beginning

Bought the MBD to get the reed plates and optimised cover plates. Having Kinya Pollard, the Harpsmith, install one of his custom combs and retune. The MBD had just what I needed.

Thanks so much for your business!
Enjoy!

First harmonica

Rockinron had a better price and selection so I chose to buy my first harmonica through them. Everything was great except the harmonica has a chip between the holes. I am new but I would think the wider vent would alter the sound. I am new so 😐 idk. But it was an issue at the factory as the missing chunk was finished over. No returns so I guess I have a mostly good Harmonica. Will be checking out Harmonicaland next time

RockinRons Quality

Being in the United States Marine Corps, I have found myself looking for a great portable instrument. The Marine Band Deluxe has been just what I needed to bring my love for music anywhere while making a high quality and full sound. I have officially purchased this product in the key of C, A, Bb, G, and D. Every order I have made with RockinRons has been shipped almost immediately with no issues and high quality service. If you are looking for a great instrument from a great distributor, order from RockinRons.

Thanks Adrian!
