A Harmonica Persistent on Progress

Introduced in 1992, the Hohner CX12 was determined to rewrite the rulebook on harmonica craftsmanship. Over two decades later, the groundbreaking design of this 12-hole chromatic harp has earned Hohner a prestigious German Industry Design Award and cemented itself as the go-to professional harp for performers spanning classical, jazz, pop, and rock. Comfortable in the hands of a majority of players, its sleek corners offer precision control with superior navigation speed and note response, allowing budding harpists and seasoned pros alike to break free of the diatonic box and explore the CX12's 3-octave chromatic range. To further encourage tonal consistency and structural durability, the CX12 is constructed with a climate-resistant plastic comb, brass reed plates, and a resilient ABS cover designed to complement the harmonica's bold and confident sound. What's more, the CX12 assembles in seconds — not minutes — with no tools required. The comb and reed plate simply snap into the housing, creating a precise, airtight seal for guaranteed powerful tone and playability, giving harpists at Sweetwater yet another reason to ensure their CX12 makes an appearance at every performance.
