REVIEW OF THE HERING 1923 VINTAGE HARP The first thing to strike me when I picked up the new Hering Vintage Harp was its weight. Despite its being almost identical in dimension and styling to the HM Hohner Marine Band the Vintage harp is a good ounce heavier.

Over 40 classics from blues greats Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf, James Dalton, Elmore James, John Brim and Lester Davenport complete with an extensive introduction on how to play the pieces in this book.

With a cover design patterned after the ever-popular 1896 Marine Band, the Big River is optimized for a strong, bright tone. This is a great value harmonica that’s available in the full range of key choices.

A unique harmonica within the Lee Oskar range, the natural minor scale gives you an extra versatility and sound for blues etc. in the minor mode. This harmonica is designed to be played in ‘cross harp’ and models are labelled in the cross harp key. Available in the full range of natural minor keys.
