Bought in Germany at the factory in 1956. Not played. Beautiful condition of harmonica and its box--except that plates are slightly tarnished due to age and have some tiny surface scratches near the mouthpiece. Hohner informed me, at the time of purchase, that they were due to their testing of the instrument and deficiencies of equipment holding over from WW II. Designed as a full chromatic with the sharps and flats alongside the basic notes in order to play fast music such as "Flight of the Bumble Bee." If you are a good harmonica player, this is the instrument that will take you to new performance heights. Instrument is 14 inches long. It is against health regulations for me to take a harmonica back, so please make sure it is what you want to make you a true harmonica artist before buying.
