The Hohner Marine Band Soloist 364/24 is a unique take on the Classic Marine Band. It has Marine Band construction, including the stainless steel covers and the brass reed plates, but the similarities end there. The Marine Band Soloist 364/24 has been tuned quite differently. While the Classic is great for playing the blues, the Soloist 364/24 is much better for playing more melodic tunes. If you have experience playing a chromatic, you’ll notice that the tuning is similar, except that the Soloist 364/24 doesn’t have a sharping lever. Nevertheless, it has a superb sound, and it’s great for playing solo, as the name suggests, or for playing the melodies while someone else plays the harmonies on a different harp.
PROS
Sturdy construction
Good for playing melodic tunes
CONS
Not good for playing blues tunes
