Hohner Discovery 48 chromatic harmonica in C – 12 holes, 48 brass reeds, stainless steel covers (3 octaves)

Your gateway into the world of the chromatic harmonica

With the Hohner Discovery 48 in the key of C, you hold a chromatic harmonica that unites the heritage of the legendary Chromonica with modern ergonomics. It is the ideal choice for beginners and ambitious hobby players alike who want to master all twelve semitones and enjoy the full, warm Chromonica sound – whether for jazz, classical or film music.

Full range thanks to the slide mechanism

By pressing the side slide, you open a second row of reeds and play all semitones across three full octaves (C4 to D7). This makes the Discovery 48 far more versatile than a diatonic blues harp and lets you play freely in any key. The straight slide arrangement is screwed and easily converted for left-handed players.

Warm sound and comfortable playing feel

48 brass reeds on 1.2 mm brass reed plates produce the characteristically warm, gentle tone regarded as the standard of the modern Chromonica sound. The black ABS comb body is robust and climate-stable, while the ergonomically shaped mouthpiece with its seamless transition to the stainless steel covers offers a pleasant, lip-friendly playing feel.

Your benefits at a glance:

• All semitones: chromatic range across three octaves for complete musical freedom.
• Warm Chromonica sound: 48 brass reeds for the full, gentle Hohner tone.
• Robust and climate-stable: ABS comb body for reliable function in any environment.
• Ergonomic and easy to maintain: screwed construction, convertible for left-handers.
