Hohner Super Chromonica 48 Harmonica Key of G

Play the Legend!

When the chromatic harmonica was first introduced over 100 years ago, it sparked a musical revolution. Its unmatched sound was a major influence on classical music, jazz, pop, and blues, shaping these styles profoundly since its debut. Thanks to its unique tone, 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 inspired 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 lingers in our minds—we all have certain tunes that take us on a time travel and embed themselves in our memory. With the Super Chromonica, we can relive those moments. It is still built almost unchanged from the time of its invention and, as the original Chromonica, remains a favorite for generations of classical players, jazz and pop musicians, as well as folk and blues enthusiasts.
