The first HOHNER chromatic harmonica was released in the early
years of the 20th century. So in the early 21st century, we
decided to commemorate the centenary of this historic occasion by
unveiling our Discovery 48. While remaining true to the character
of the original, its ergonomic design incorporates all the
advantages of a 21st century instrument. The warm, mellow sound
captivates listener and player alike and invokes the true essence
of what the chromatic is all about. Recommended by leading
players, the Discovery 48 is the perfect instrument for beginners
and ambitious hobbyists alike, offering many of the advantages of
more expensive models at a bargain price.
