A solid, easily playable, low-tuned harp that's a sure performer for seasoned veterans.
The robust Hohner 590 Big River Harmonica is an attractive harp and a fine musical instrument for beginners.
The 590 Big River's solid volume and easy playability also make it the choice of seasoned veterans and professionals, who
recognize its strong, dependable performance and German quality at an affordable price. The Hohner Big River can be called
one of the best-valued harmonicas on the market. It has the quality and life expectancy of Hohner's Special 20 and Marine
Band harmonicas, yet it's more affordable. It also has the advantage of replaceable reed plates—a money-saving alternative
to throwing away out-of-tune harmonicas.
Whether you're playing down-home melodies on your back porch or fronting a
blues band, the 590 Big River harmonica will get the job done. This reliable workhorse offers Hohner's highest standard of
German quality. Featuring a 10-hole, airtight, plastic body for increased volume, an open-ended cover for sound projection,
and contoured covers that are comfortable to hold, the Hohner 590 Big River harp really delivers the sound you seek.
The
low-tuning 590 Big River Harp offers one lower octave than standard-tuned harmonicas.

About
MS-Series harmonicas:
The acronym 'MS' stands for Modular System, an integrated concept of Hohner's harmonica designs. MS-series harmonicas benefit
from innovations that improve their playing characteristics and also significantly facilitate maintenance and handling. All
MS-series parts (combs, reed plates, and covers) can be combined individually. Simple screw connections allow for easy assembly.
This benefit offers players the possibility to adjust the instruments to their individual requirements. For example, some
players prefer the body of one model and the cover plates of another, and so a "custom hybrid" is possible for the discerning
player. Easy-to-install replacement reeds are available (see item: RP565 MS Replacement Reed Plates).
