Hohner Jean Jacques Milteau Harmonica in the Key of Bb

Developed in collaboration with French blues legend Jean Jacques Milteau, this signature harmonica in B♭ addresses the demands of players who need an instrument that performs across both acoustic and amplified settings. The open stainless steel cover plates deliver optimal sound projection with a bright, powerful tone that cuts through when the volume rises. Milteau's design philosophy centres on a harmonica that responds with clarity unplugged yet delivers fullness through a microphone and amplifier, making this a practical choice for stage work where tonal consistency matters.

The reed assembly features 20 brass reeds mounted on 0.9mm brass reed plates, providing the durability and tonal warmth associated with traditional blues harmonica construction. A transparent blue ABS comb offers stability across temperature and humidity changes while maintaining the acoustic properties players expect from a performance–grade instrument. The stainless steel covers resist corrosion and contribute to the overall sonic character, enhancing upper harmonics without sacrificing the midrange presence required for both Chicago–style amplified playing and acoustic folk applications. An instructional booklet in English, German, French and Spanish accompanies each unit.
