Adam Gussow’s Notes:

• Light/Moderate Wear
• 3 blow is out – needs work
• Great draw chords
• 6 draw stuck
• Poor

This Hohner Marine Band 1896 in the key of Bb shows all the classic signs of use by the master.  The covers are tarnished and slightly crushed from Sonny’s powerful hands.  The back of the comb is scratched up from rubbing against a microphone.  The front of the comb is pretty clean.  No dried up, crusty mouth juices, but there is some evidence of staining from saliva.  Beautiful harp!

In addition to the actual estate harmonica, all purchases will also include the following:

• A Certificate of Authenticity from the Sonny Terry Estate LLC.
• An attractive Shadow Box Display Case with a brief Biography of Sonny with which to display your estate harmonica.
• A stock black and white photo of either Sonny alone or Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee – suitable for framing. These photos were provided by Hohner and were the photos that Sonny might hand out at performances.   (Picture frame not included.)
