Hohner Harmonica - 365 SBS Steve Baker Special - Key of C (090223-HD)

STATUS - NOW AVAILABLE - Click here to purchase from our eBay store - Email or Phone to Order

Outstanding 14-hole 28-reed diatonic harmonica from Hohner. Specially designed in collaboration with Steve Baker.

"The Famous Steve Baker Special - Extending Your Blues Capacity

The 'Steve Baker Special' (SBS) uses the same construction as the classic Marine Band 365, but the sound range is extended downwards instead of upwards. The same tuning and bending capabilities traditionally reserved for the first three holes of a diatonic harp have been extended downward over an additional octave. This allows for typical draw bend phrasings to be played over a range of 2 octaves.

Available in C, D, F, G and A."

This finely designed and manufactured harmonica is in the key of C. The Steve Baker Special is also available in D, F, G and A. Other keys can be accessed from our Harmonica Index. Dane Clarke personally tests and performs any necessary adjustments and fine tuning on every MandoHarp harmonica sold. We will have further postings of quality Harmonicas just as soon as we can get the listings constructed.

About the Tester

Dane is a professional systems engineer, academic and musician who has played harmonica for over forty years. He currently sings and plays harmonica, mandolin, mandola etc. with a celtic/folk/blues band, Headland and a celtic/gypsy band, The Gypsy Tarts. Dane has researched and practiced instrument maintenance, repair and tuning in earnest for the last five years or so (since retiring from full-time professional work), and during this time has often been privileged to meet and learn from some of Australia's premier artists and technicians. On the qualifications side of things, Dane has undergraduate degrees in Engineering and Business, and post-graduate qualifications in Information Technology and Education. He works as a part-time engineer and academic these days, and though he loves teaching computer engineering he enjoys himself much more when working on instruments and playing music!
