Hohner Super Chromonica 48 - 270

Versatile. Reliable. A true chromatic classic.

The Hohner Super Chromonica 48 (Model 270) is one of the most iconic and enduring chromatic harmonicas in the world. Favoured by professionals, teachers, and advancing players, it’s a true all-round instrument suitable for every musical style—from classical to jazz, pop, and folk.

Built with a traditional pearwood comb, the Super Chromonica offers a warm, full tone and improved upper-register response. It features 48 reeds across a three-octave range, allowing expressive, wide-ranging melodies. The 1.05 mm brass reed plates and longer reeds enhance volume and responsiveness, while the chrome-plated mouthpiece with round holes provides smooth, comfortable playability.

Designed for durability and ease of maintenance, this model uses screw assembly for convenient disassembly, and the slide mechanism can be easily converted for left-handed use. With a short-action slide, stainless steel covers, and a hard-shell case, the Super Chromonica 48 is an excellent value for players seeking a reliable chromatic harmonica built to perform.
