HOHNER Marine Band Part I - The Original Blues Harmonica 

These guys have devoted their life to that little tin sandwich. Great talent and skill. Nothing but respect from me. I've been playing for 35 years and still look up to these guys.

You Don't ever want to get stuck in an elevator with these three squares. No wonder harmonica is placed with Banjo its because most wouldn't know hipness and character if it hit them in the face.

Es lebe hoch die HOHNER Mundharmonika 😍😎😊✌️👍🏻

Hohner Marine Band Classic rules!

Love Steve's little glance at Joe, on the left, at 1 minute!

AWESOME demonstration and in-depth information. Thanks Musicians Friend for putting this video on your website.

I love these guys. They are legends.

I’m fairly new to harp. 6 months in. Loving it. Having built up a good collection. SPs Lees, fenders, DaBell and a beautiful Seydel silver in D. I have just bought my third deluxe in Bb. Having a C and A. I’m definitely saving to buy a couple more keys. Love the feel in hand. Easy to play, kinda looks like a spare part for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Which obviously. I love too. 👋🤠🎶

Interesting how they were looking to each other ;-)

A timeless instrument 🎵🎶💙

That was so delightful! Looking forward to buying my MB Deluxe or Crossover Harmonica.

I love Horner and all of these guys they are good men us GIRLS play too you know !

"John Phillip Sousa was having success with the...Army Marine Band." Boy, that's some music history there! Never heard of a Marine Band being in the Army.

after watching this video, i want to have MArine Band very much!

Wow!! This was great to watch, Thank you!!

Thank you for this video, finally I could see three masters and very good teachers of harmonicas together :)

I'll have my brand new marine band in the morning.

Great stuff

The revolutionary discovery came when some early bluesman found the accidental but serendipitous way a C harp could work when others were playing in G, using the other discovery, that low note bending would fill in the missing notes in the proper key. Before, first position (same key harp and song) made for the distinctive higher "hillbilly" jugband country cowboy sound. Deford Bailey and Sonny Terry sort of bridged the gap, using elements of both keys in one tune. Add crazy crude, powerful amp distortion and reverb, a la Walter, with novel jazz-influenced melodic tangents that swoop and dive around and through the basic blues changes just enough to stay in contact with the song, and modern blues was born. In many ways, despite the technical prowess of the Levys and more using overblow virtuosity to fill every possible run and complex composition, something seems to have been diminishing in the past 10 or 20 years, as flashy mastery has overrun musicality? Something to ponder.

Loved it

Gonna buy a few of these

he dose it all the time hint always have one in your hand!

Joe Filisko flips that Marine Band pretty effortlessly. Cool trick.

Alles Super Spieler die genau wissen wovon Sie sprechen, ich selber spiele erst seit Eineinhalb Jahren also bin ich noch eine Greenhorn mit wenig Erfahrung. Aber ich habe drei Modelle von Hohner ausprobiert Big River, Golden Melodie und die Crossover alle Modelle funktionieren einwandfrei. Die Crossover ist mein Favorit sie spielt sich Butterweich liegt super in der Hand und man kann sie auch problemlos 6 Stunden spielen ohne das man sich die Lippen aufreist. Werde mir jetzt so nach und nach die Tonlagen kaufen die man benötigt. Bis dann aus dem Sauerland

This was gnarly as fuck. I admit, I geeked out during the "train" spot.

I got a Hohner Special 20 Marine Band harmonica. Not bad at all

so serious, where's is the fun? come on, you gotta smile if you're doing cho cho train

I've always got mine in my hand

They've got the blues. ;)

12:36 teach me this !!!!!! :D

Tell ke how to flip a marine band around my thumb like that :D

You should pre.. some shot sample that p...could learn....!and using bending a note in a song...

They all need a good shake . I kinda looks like they all hate being there. Maybe egos clashing or something.

😊👍🎼

I play Hohner Marine Bands, and it is an informative video, but the three of them, don't seem to be very happy, being there together... And to me, Joe Filisko's gimmick, of constantly flipping his harmonica, got very tiresome, very quick.

Couple more silly hats and they would have appeared much happier.

I'll have my brand new marine band in the morning.
