The Rocket-Amp E is a fantastic entry point for players wanting a loud, powerful blues harmonica.

It's a surprisingly capable instrument for the price, offering a lot of bang for your buck.

Product Description

Hohner Rocket-Amp Progressive E Major, Diatonic Harmonica

Thanks to its newly developed design, the Rocket-Amp can be played particularly loudly. This is made possible, on the one hand, by the larger tone holes and laterally closed covers, and on the other hand by completely embedding the reed plates in the comb. In addition, the diatonic harmonica offers a pleasant playing experience thanks to its ergonomically shaped comb body.

  • Tuning: E major
  • Reed plate: Brass
  • 0.9 mm
  • Finish: Stainless steel
  • Richter model with green plastic comb
  • Laterally closed covers
  • Larger tone holes
  • Length: 10.2 cm
  • Case included
PROS
  • • Larger tone holes provide a surprisingly loud and resonant output.
  • • Laterally closed covers minimize air leakage, maximizing volume and sustain.
  • • Embedded reed plates in the comb contribute to a unique, powerful tone.
  • • Ergonomic comb design offers a comfortable playing experience, even for extended sessions.
CONS
  • • The Richter tuning limits versatility for non-blues/folk players.
  • • Stainless steel covers can feel a bit cold and less responsive than brass.
  • • The plastic comb, while durable, doesn't offer the same warmth as wood.
