Hohner Super Chromonica 48 Chromatic Harmonica C Major

Play the Legend!

When the chromatic harmonica was introduced over 100 years ago, it sparked a musical revolution. Its unrivaled sound shaped classical music, jazz, pop and blues and has left a lasting mark on those styles. Thanks to its unique voice, the Chromonica suits both gentle, harmonious melodies and fast, fiery jazz riffs.

Even today the Hohner Chromonica remains the benchmark for all modern chromatic harmonicas. The Chromonica series embodies the spirit that led Hohner to build the first chromatic harmonica and is ideal for beginners and advanced players seeking the dynamics and feel of Larry Adler or Toots Thielemans.

The Legend Lives On

Sometimes it’s a melody from a long-forgotten film, other times a childhood song that runs through our head — we all have tunes that transport us back in time and stick in our memory. With the Super Chromonica we can relive those moments. It’s still built today almost unchanged from its original design and, as the original Chromonica, remains a favorite among generations of classical players, jazz and pop musicians, and folk and blues lovers.
