Hohner Big Valley Harp C Major Overview
The Hohner Big Valley Harp in C Major is a tremolo harmonica designed to deliver a rich, resonant sound ideal for folk, Balkan, and Eastern musical styles. Its distinctive tremolo effect is achieved through two simultaneously playing reed plates, each tuned slightly apart to create a captivating, shimmering tone.
Constructed with a durable black ABS plastic comb, the Big Valley Harp ensures longevity and resistance to moisture, preventing issues like swelling that can affect wooden combs. This material choice contributes to a warm, mellow sound while offering ease of maintenance.
The harmonica features 48 holes and 48 brass reeds, with 0.9 mm thick brass reed plates that provide a bright, clear timbre. Stainless steel cover plates add a touch of brilliance to the overall sound and protect the internal components from debris. Measuring approximately 18 cm in length, the Big Valley Harp is both robust and portable, making it a reliable companion for musicians on the move.
Included with the harmonica is a sturdy plastic case, ensuring your instrument remains protected from mechanical damage during transport. This thoughtful addition underscores Hohner’s commitment to providing musicians with practical and durable accessories.
