Hohner Chromonica 270

I use it for 6 months on a regular basis (I take classes). I also have a Hohner Mellow Tone (and a certain amount of diatonic).

Some features:
- Chromatic 12 hole (in C in my case)
- Plates and plates of bronze and it is easy to find replacement blades (try to find for Herring!)
- Wooden bed frame (plum?)
- Square holes (Some may prefer the round holes, I am indifferent to this problem).

It's a little chromatic harmonica reference on which everyone has played or recorded. Examples include Tommy Relly has played and recorded the classic for a long time before this model before the latest instruments in cash or Toots Thielmans until it has its own models that derive precisely from Chromonica 270 (to refer to the registration of Bluesette).

Like all color, it must be set when you bought it (and clean it as regularly). Once the prerequisites done, there is no problem.

Ergonomics is good for my taste and the weight does not feel (the bed is made of wood, not money!).

In terms of sound, the box spring wood brings a more organic than the plastic Herring. In fact, it gives a personality to the instrument. The question is, if you want your sound come only from you or if you want an additional color. To give a comparison with the diatonic universe is a little difference (only in terms of sound) from a Marine Band and Lee Oscar, a friendly type, and for the first and a transparency for each other.

It is a fairly versatile instrument that can address a wide variety of music. Her warm personality helps fill the space when playing alone, which gives me a good complement to Mellow Tone with a crystal clear sound allows me to detach myself in a group. In between, I find Chromonica more versatile.

I am very satisfied with this color. I can only say that the evil little chrome like my saliva but I think it comes from me. Compared with its diatonic harmonicas with the longevity of the accuracy is often criticized, the chromatic Hohner are very reliable. I advise the Chromonica both the beginner than others because you can really do a lot of things. I wanted a second harmonica right to take it everywhere and it's actually become my main color.

If necessary, the service Hohner France is very good if I am referring to the repairs they made to my Mellow Tone courtesy and speed.
