Frequently Asked Questions

The MS system subtly alters the tuning to make bending notes easier and more predictable, particularly the draw reeds.
Hohner uses a carefully selected wood and a finish that helps resist excessive moisture absorption, but some swelling is normal and usually subsides with use.
While many beginner harmonicas cut corners, Hohner uses brass reedplates and a wooden comb, offering a noticeably richer tone and better feel than cheaper plastic alternatives.
