364S Soloist

More Info: Taken from Pat Missins site. The typical 10-hole Richter harmonica uses a tuning that omits certain notes in the upper and lower octaves, as well as giving the same note on both 2 draw and 3 blow, in order to allow chordal accompaniment in the lowest range of the harp. One of the oldest variations on this layout is the so-called Solo Tuning, patented by in 1907 by William Benjamin Yates, of Alviso, California. This is a tuning that places a complete diatonic scale in each octave of the harmonica and is currently the most common tuning used on chromatics. There have been a variety of solo tuned diatonics made over the years, but there are only a few currently in production. Most of them are 12-hole harmonicas, including the Hohner Marine Band 364S

Great Hohner tradition, and fun to play!

Two years ago I won a LowC 364 as a raffle prize at a workshop put on by Dennis Gruenling. Then Hohner Artist Kyle Rowland started posting one-minute lessons using a LowC 364, increasing my enthusiasm. Then I saw a video of Rice "Sonny Boy Williamson II" Miller performing "Keep It To Yourself" with what was probably a low D Hohner Echo Vamper, essentially the same as the 364, a tune he recorded using a standard D. So I HAD to get a LowD 364 from Rockin' Ron. Both the LowC and LowD are now getting a lot of use, primarily 2nd and 3rd position, at a local weekly blues jam, bringing smiles to fellow harpists and non-musician attendees alike. Traditional wood combs, 12 holes of Marine Band technology, and the best of Hohner's excellent current quality (which over the past 5-6 years has been outstanding for all models). Low-tuned harps are a whole 'nother world (if you can figure out how to get a full 2-draw bend, let me know - tho' 3-draw bends are easy), a real breathing challenge. But that low SOUND! Either a LowC or LowD 364, or both, would be a great addition to your arsenal. And as always, great service from Rockin' Ron's.
