An Award-winning Chromatic Harmonica Like No Other
In 1992, Hohner introduced the CX12 Black, a futuristic diatonic harmonica with comfortable contours mirroring contemporary European design trends. The CX12 Black’s groundbreaking design earned Hohner a prestigious German Industry Design Award, and today it’s a go-to professional harp for performers spanning classical, jazz, pop, and rock. The sleek corners fit comfortably in most hands and offer precision control with superior navigation speed and note response compared to traditional hard-cornered harps. With prowess like that, seasoned pros will feel right at home, and intermediates can go beyond the diatonic box exploring the CX12’s 3-octave chromatic range. The CX12 Black disassembles in seconds, not minutes — no tools required, so it's easy to maintain and take to gigs. The comb and reed plate assembly snaps into the housing with a precise, airtight seal for guaranteed powerful tone and playability. Artists who travel will also love the stability of this harp. The comb is made from climate-resistant plastic, which is heavy-duty and resistant to wear and leads to consistent tone regardless of humidity, temperature, or elevation. If you’re ready to take the next step in your harmonica journey, there’s truly no better start than a CX12 Black from Sweetwater!
