I had this same harmonica when I was a boy. Took it with me everywhere I went. Did a dumb thing one day and sold it in a pawn shop when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I paid $5 for it new and got my $5 back when I sold it, but was sorry afterward. It was the best little harmonica for the money. Wish I had it now. That one was made of wood back around 1968. I'm going to get me another one now that I've seen this web page.

Believe it or not I bought this 1896 MB when you could buy it for two dollars. That has been a long tine ago. I'm still playing this harmonica at Jams all the time. Now and then I will flush it under the hot water spiget. Although I and a Bluegrass nut I get requests to play the Fox Chase at most every Jam. My newest 1896 MB cost me twenty-seven dollars. My friends say to me Give up Bluegrass and stay with the harmonica. But I enjoy doing both. Remember you must break the harmonica in right for the best results. You will not buy one for two dollars but the price is not all that much out of line.

1896 Marine Band Low E
Posted by Oldmanribber from Lynnwood, WA on Jan 3, 2007
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: Hobbyist
Reviewer's Play Style: Country
This harp is attractive, sounds very good and is easy to play, but I was dismayed to find you cannot take it apart to clean it, tune it, or fix a bent reed. The cover and reed plates are nailed together rather than screwed together. A reed broke on me after just two or three months of casual use. Still, I liked it very much and the price is good.
