The Hohner 270 Super Chromonica Chromatic harmonica lets musicians access every note they could possibly need. Hohner's precision-crafted, handmade harmonica features 48 reeds over 3 full octaves beginning at middle C, allowing for sophisticated melodies, deeply emotive solos and key changes mid-song. With a special wind-saving valve system, musicians can sustain rich, full notes without running out of breath.

Unmatched Tonal Control

The Super Chromonica's slide button mechanism provides complete control over tone, enabling musicians to play any style, from jazz to pop. The harmonica's hand-tuned reeds are fitted into a pearwood comb optimized for superior response across its range. Musicians can produce bright highs, mellow lows and everything in between.

Ergonomic Design for Hours of Play

Hohner built the Super Chromonica for comfort during long practice sessions and performances. At 5.5" long and 1.5" high, the harmonica fits comfortably in the hands. Its comb features smoothly sanded edges and recesses that provide an optimal grip. An included carrying case allows for safe transport and storage between sessions.
