Hohner Blues Bender Harmonica in the Key of A

Thicker 0.9mm brass reed plates give the Blues Bender harmonica a wider dynamic range than standard harmonicas, allowing players to push harder into bends and draw out the expressive tone that defines blues playing. This diatonic harmonica from Hohner is tuned to the key of A and features a resilient ABS plastic comb that holds tuning stability across temperature and humidity changes–important for players gigging outdoors or moving between air–conditioned venues and summer heat. The transparent comb design pairs with stainless steel cover plates for durability without excess weight.

Twenty brass reeds deliver the responsive attack needed for blues techniques, particularly note bending, which is central to the authentic blues sound this model is named for. The ABS construction extends to the mouthpiece, providing a consistent seal and comfortable playing surface that won't warp or swell. Brass reed plates with brass surface treatment maintain tonal warmth while resisting corrosion. The stainless steel covers protect the reeds during transport and project sound forward with clarity. Available across seven keys–F, E, D, C, Bb, A, and G–the Blues Bender allows players to match the harmonica to different songs and vocal ranges.
