Hohner 7582/64 Super 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica

 A LOT of meat in this tin sandwich!
To quote that great American Keanu Reeves: "Whoa."

It's a real handful. As a usual player of the Super Chromonica 270, I can say those four extra holes really add heft. The sound is very sweet and mellow, but it does take some wind to play. That 1 blow sounds like a blast from a truck's airhorn! What a powerful sound!

The action on the button sticks from time to time, but other than that, this is the last harmonica you'll ever need.

 Good harmonica but takes in a lot of air
The sound of this harmonica is very good. The slider is also very smooth. However, one will take time to adjust to this model specially if you are moving from diatonic harmonicas. But once you get used it, it is a pleasure to play this harmonica. One thing that I didn't like about this harmonica is, it takes in a lot of air to play notes (I think it is a fault in my instrument, there is an air leakage) Please ensure that this fault is not there in the harmonica you buy.

 Sound is best of any Hohner chromatic I have played
The range on this harp dips down one octave below middle C, which is fairly unique and adds to the overall possibilities of this instrument. Over the years, I have played several of the Hohner Chromatics and while this one is a bit more difficult to tongue accurately compared to the CX-12, my feeling is the quality of the sound compared to the CX-12 and 270 makes up for it in spades. I think if I had one Chromatic to own, this would be the one.

If you are a beginner, start out with the 270, it's a great value and it served me well for years. But if you are looking to step up, and can afford the price, I think this harp is well worth looking into.
