The exciting special tuning of the Hohner 365SBS was developed by Steve Baker, Hohner Germany's diatonic harmonica consultant. The 14-hole tuning extends the range of bendable draw notes while retaining their familiar blues configuration. The SBS enables the first nine draw notes (over a 2-octave range) to be bent using the same method used when playing a standard-tuned harp.

Hohner 365 Steve Baker Special Harmonica Features:

  • Extended bendable note range
  • Sleek styling
  • Choose key of G, A, C, D or F

The Hohner 365SBS Steve Baker Special harmonica lets you expand your expressiveness in the blues idiom. Order today.

Steve Baker's Are Special

If you like a normal Hohner Marine Band, you'll love the Steve Baker Special. It has the same feel and playability as a Marine Band, but it has an extra octave worth of notes (some claim the SBS's are more airtight, but they feel the same to me). Basically, the tuning is the same as a standard, 10-hole diatonic harp but there are three extra holes which repeat the normal 1-3 holes. The good thing is that if you already know how to play a normal harmonica, then there's no learning curve - you can play this too, but with the bonus of an extra octave. The 14th hole isn't of much use. I think it's only there because a standard Hohner 365 is used as the blank for this special tuning (or maybe Hohner thinks 13 holes would be unlucky).

Keep in mind that the extra octave doesn't always mean a LOWER octave. It depends on the key. For the Keys of A and G, hole 1 on the SBS corresponds with hole 1 on a normal harp. For the Keys of C, D and F, hole 4 on the SBS is the same pitch as hole 1 on a normal harp.
