The Hohner Toots Hard Booper Chromatic Harmonica

Thielemans aka "Toots" was one of the most famous artists to express themselves on a chromatic harmonica.

During his career, he composed many arrangements for this type of harmonica. For decades his name has been associated with the German brand Hohner , so it was logical to see a signature model someday.

This collaboration gave birth to two harmonicas, including this Hard Bopper . This chromatic harmonica has been designed to meet Toots requirements so that he can express his style in the best way.

Toots knew exactly what he wanted to do with this harmonica. Both rock and blues tunes should be played with ease on this model.

Thanks to the company’s unique knowledge , Hohner has managed to design a harmonica made for playing these styles - meeting the expectations of Thielemans himself.

This model is often used to play blues and rock songs.

Thielemans and Hohner have collaborated to define and produce a remarkable instrument with a powerful sound that will surprise you with its perfection.

To get a sound of such good quality, the best materials have been selected.

The bed base is pear, which gives you a warm sound and the 48 Chromonica reeds are brass. The box spring has been improved to provide a better treble response.

The mouthpiece is chrome-plated and the tuning plate is nickel-plated and is 1.2mm thick.

Finally, the cover is decorated with an engraving of the Toots Thielemans signature.

The combination of these materials and the thoughtful design will allow you to experience the same sensations as Toots Thielemans and we wish you the same pleasure in playing it.

The key is in C major, and this model will be delivered with a unique serial number.

Toots Thielemans is a chromonica player. I'm more than willing to have that harmonica.
