Product Description

Quite simply the ultimate evolution of the diatonic harmonica! Near telepathic bending capability with every single note! Never before has a harmonica been able to produce the technically brilliant sounds the XB-40 can do with effortlessness and grace. Jump, jive and wail on the high end as well as the low. Play chromatically on a diatonic instrument. You’ll be in league with such recording greats as James Taylor, Mick Jagger and Stevie Wonder, all XB-40 players. Available in all Major Keys.

The revolutionary design of the XB-40 allows for the bending of every note, whether blown or drawn. This capability not only offers incomparable expression alternatives, but it also enables the use of all notes of the chromatic scale just by using the standard bending technique. In addition, the design and shape of the XB-40 generates a volume and tone that no traditional diatonic harp can achieve.

Hohnor's Diatonic
Hohner's diatonic harmonicas set the industry standard through their high quality construction, excellent response and unsurpassed tone. Often called "Blues Harps", they have been a fixture as melody and accompaniment instruments in blues, rock, country, and folk bands, as well as many other styles of music and musical ensembles. Richter tuning and undivided air channels allow for bending and overblowing the reeds, creating the signature wailing sound typical of the harmonica.
