Hohner Hot Metal – A – Hohner

The 572 Hot Metal is similar to Hohner’s Old Standby harmonica but with a little more edge and a brighter sound. It’s tough, durable, easy-on-the-wallet, and a great starter harp for those just finding their chops. Hohner is a family company founded in 1857 in Trossingen, Germany by Matthias Hohner. Hand-made quality and close attention to detail has set Hohner apart from the beginning. A top leading brand in harmonicas, Hohner harps are distributed worldwide. Hohner harmonicas are played on the street by buskers, in intimate nightclubs, on festival stages, and even in Carnegie Hall. Despite a diverse harmonica line used in music from country to classical genres, the most famous Hohner harmonicas are their simple, 10-hole diatonics used frequently by blues, rock, country, and folk musicians.
