Low D Hohner Thunderbird Harmonica
First I noticed a slight vibrato, echo sound in the low end and the sound of this harmonica is really great. I played it for about 20 minutes and can say this instrument is special. It has a wistful sound that is deep and moving to me. I love this harmonica so much. I knew I liked the key of D from playing guitar but this just really feels like a part of me. I know it's technically nuts & bolts (and bamboo) but I felt and feel a definite magic with this little harp.Thanks Hohner & Sweetwater & Nick, you guys really know what you're doing.
