Its screw-assembled design allows easy maintenance and slide conversion for left-handed use. With a polished stainless steel finish and classic embossing, it remains the industry standard for chromatic harmonicas since 1938, ideal for blues, jazz, classical, and soul musicians seeking versatility and durability. ## Description When it came on the market in 1938, the 64 Chromonica was the first chromatic to boast a range of over four octaves. Thanks to the additional bottom octave, it took the tonal range of the harmonica into registers where it had never before been heard, as well as brought many pieces from the classical repertoire within the reach of the instrument. It also enabled the eerie, deep-toned growl and full chords of amplified chromatic harp which swiftly became an integral part of the blues tradition, a sound which lives on to this day. It defined the industry standard for professional quality 4 octave chromatics and has gone on to inspire generations of players in blues, soul, jazz and classical music. Whether you play alone or in a band, if you’re looking for a real workhorse 64 chromatic it’s still your best bet. Review: Great tone and Excellent Build Quality - Excellent Chromatic Harmonica! Great tone and excellent build quality. Perhaps a bit pricey but it is the longstanding industry standard for good reason. Review: Why not learn on the best? - Or if not the best, at least a really good harp like the Chromatica 280 C. I'm a beginning harmonica player with 15 years of musical instruction and 30 years of playing piano, clarinet, and guitar under my belt. My musical bent turns mostly toward classical with a bit of gospel, so I searched for almost a year to find the "right" harp (as harmonicas are called). I decided not to waste money on a less expensive instrument because I figured from all I've read the 280 C can grow with me, or rather, the better I learn to play it, the better the music from it. Just like the other three I've learned to play. The advantages for me over the other instruments are that I can take it anywhere, play almost any sort of music on it, and play a wider range of music because of its 4-octave reach. Being in the key of C doesn't matter, either, because the slide will enable me to play in all the keys I can learn. Unlike the diatonic harps I won't need to buy other harmonicas to play in other keys. I figure this harmonica will be as good as I can play, and thanks to a couple of great harmonica books, it already sounds better than when I first picked it up a little over a month ago. The books are The Chromatic Harmonica Method by Max De Aloe, and Harmonic for Dummies by Winslow Yerxa. With this combo of books and instrument, the only limitations on where I can go musically are my own. ## Features - Tradition cover design and embossing - Completely assembled with screws for ease of maintenance and easy conversion of slide for left hand use - Resilient plastic comb ensures reliable performance under all climate conditions - Tonal range: 4 octaves, C3 – D7 - Length: 19.3 cm / 7.6" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002NIPW0 | | Brand | Hohner | | Brand Name | Hohner | | Color | Stainless steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 347 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Included Components | Case | | Instrument Key | C | | Item Dimensions | 7.8 x 1.2 x 1.8 inches | | Item Type Name | The 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica, Key of C | | Item Weight | 0.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Hohner Inc, USA | | Manufacturer Part Number | 280-C | | Material | Brass, Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Brass, Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Hohner 280C | | Model Number | 280-C | | Style | Classic | | UPC | 190786084957 | | Warranty Description | 90 day warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hohner - **Color:** Stainless steel - **Instrument Key:** C - **Material:** Brass, Stainless Steel - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![The 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica, Key of C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lkeSL5M7L.jpg) ![The 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica, Key of C - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vVAXJvoyL.jpg) ![The 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica, Key of C - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vHhQukGFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: are hohner 280C and hohner super 64 chromatica same harmonica?** A: No they are not. You have the Chromonica 280 sometimes called Chromonica 64 that's the Chromonica series. Then you have the Super 64C that is from the Super 64 series. Lots of times the name listed is not the one used by Hohner and marketplaces label it wrong. Checj our website for more info. **Q: Is it easy to learn how to play it?** A: Playing a chromatic in key of C is easy, since no slide action is required. Once yo get to other keys that have sharps, and flats in them, I would say it is hard, and may take years to learn. **Q: I inherited a 64 chromonica 4 chromatic octaves c professional M.Hohner. what is its value?** A: Fifty to One fifty **Q: does the hohner 280/64 harmonica have a warranty?** A: Thank you for your question. The 280/64 chromonica comes with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Please keep a copy of your receipt, just in case you need to claim warranty. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tone and Excellent Build Quality *by C***S on June 9, 2026* Excellent Chromatic Harmonica!

I showed it to someone in my harmonica group at the senior center. Who is a expert in harmonicas. He told me I got a great price. He was surprised for Amazon I didn't get junk. Many times was told you can't trust the sellers on Amazon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hohner The 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica, Key of C - Method for Chromatic Harmonica - Chromatic Harmonica Songbook (Songbooks for chromatic harmonica) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1319140-the-64-chromonica-chromatic-harmonica-key-of-c](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1319140-the-64-chromonica-chromatic-harmonica-key-of-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
