Hohner Chromatic Harmonica - 7546/48/C CX-12 Jazz
|
|
|
|
The Hohner CX-12 Jazz is the easiest harmonica of all to maintain and repair. Its revolutionary one-piece mouthpiece and cover design allows amazingly easy hand disassembly and reassembly without the use of tools. |
"The CX-12 Line
The CX-12 represents the greatest single innovation in commercial chromonica manufacture since HOHNER‘s introduction of the first chromatic harmonica in 1912.
The concept was the brainchild of Gerhard Knoppek, a HOHNER R&D staff member who in 1991 was given the task of thinking up a radically new chromatic instrument. Knoppek‘s construction was brilliantly simple - the comb and reed plate assembly is mounted in a one piece mouthpiece / housing unit and held in place by a powerful metal spring at the back. The slide can be removed instantly, but is exceptionally airtight. Disassembly and reassembly of these components takes only seconds and requires no tools.
The CX-12 was presented on the Frankfurt Music Trade Fair in 1992 and went on to win a major German industrial design prize. It is the preferred axe of chromatic luminaries such as Bill Barrett from Hazmat Modine or LA studio crack Tollak Ollestad and is regarded by many as the most airtight and user-friendly chromatic on the market.
CX-12 Jazz
The CX-12 "Jazz" represents a further development of the successful CX-12 series and features a reduced mouthpiece radius for greater playing comfort and increased compression as well as a stylish red-to-gold finish, once again setting new standards in the development of modern chromatic harmonicas. The ergonomically formed mouthpiece fits perfectly to the lips of the player and makes the CX-12 "Jazz" ideally suited for modern chromatic stylists in jazz, blues, pop, soul and funk."
