collapse expand iconDescription

The Hohner 270 Super Chromonica Chromatic harmonica lets musicians access every note they could possibly need. Hohner's precision-crafted, handmade harmonica features 48 reeds over 3 full octaves beginning at middle C, allowing for sophisticated melodies, deeply emotive solos and key changes mid-song. With a special wind-saving valve system, musicians can sustain rich, full notes without running out of breath.

Unmatched Tonal Control

The Super Chromonica's slide button mechanism provides complete control over tone, enabling musicians to play any style, from jazz to pop. The harmonica's hand-tuned reeds are fitted into a pearwood comb optimized for superior response across its range. Musicians can produce bright highs, mellow lows and everything in between.

Ergonomic Design for Hours of Play

Hohner built the Super Chromonica for comfort during long practice sessions and performances. At 5.5" long and 1.5" high, the harmonica fits comfortably in the hands. Its comb features smoothly sanded edges and recesses that provide an optimal grip. An included carrying case allows for safe transport and storage between sessions.

All Hohner harmonicas are made in Germany, where skilled artisans pay meticulous attention to detail. The Super Chromonica is a favorite of professional harmonica players worldwide, enabling them to achieve a level of musical expression that sets new standards.

      I enjoy my new Hohner 270 chromatic harmonica. It seems to be of excellent quality like the 260 I purchased 29 years ago. I love Hihners products

    • I most definitely would buy this harmonica again.

      I play mostly now I'm retired for my friends and family. I will soon sit in with local bands once I'm back to where I can find small local venues. I had my old 64 chromanica and my ten hole chromanica for many years but worked long hours at the job and playing fell by the wayside. This super chromanica is just the push I needed. Fantastic harmonica. You just can't beat the hohners for all your needs.

      My wife bought this for herself. She enjoys playing a bit and it reminds her of one her dad used to play. It is fine quality, and even though she only plays at a novice level right now, she ie very particular about the quality of the harmonicas she plays.

      I’m very sorry, but no. If it doesn't work you will need to let us know. We will not play a new harmonica.
