Hohner “The 64 Chromonica” Chromatic Harmonica w/ Original Wood Case – Vintage 1960s
This is a vintage Hohner “The 64 Chromonica” (Model 280) chromatic harmonica, made in Germany and housed in its original wood presentation case. Based on construction and markings, this example dates to approximately the 1960s era.
The 64 Chromonica is one of Hohner’s most iconic models, known for its full 4-octave range (16 holes) and warm, expressive tone—widely used in classical, jazz, and studio settings.
