Marine Band A
The Marine Band has been the cornerstone of the harmonica industry for over 100 years. It was the chosen one for both Big Walter and Little Walter when harmonica blues was born. It was a cherished vehicle of expression for iconic troubadours Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. Just as past artists influence new, the Marine Band is always evolving, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The new comb styles and sleek, powerful designs of the Special 20, Marine Band Deluxe and Marine Band Crossover stand on the cutting edge of harmonica innovation, the only choice for virtuosos like John Popper. The classic sound of the Blues!

The one, the only, the original -- the harp that was there when harmonica blues was born. Made famous when played by every serious harmonica player from Little Walter to Paul Butterfield, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and many, many more. The result of over 100 years of tradition and German craftsmanship, it is still the number one choice of top professionals and the most recognizable model all over the world, known for its full tone and wood comb. Play the Marine Band and be a part of history. Available in 12 major keys, lower and higher octave and minor tunings.
