Adam Gussow’s Notes:

• Some wear
• Chords a little sour
• 4 blow a bit flat
• Fair

This Hohner Marine Band 1896 in the key of Bb show all the classic signs of being one of Sonny’s favorite harps.  I am sure he had many. The covers are tarnished with a lovely patina from Sonny’s hands and lips.  The cover is slightly crushed at the back.  There is dried-up mouth juices inside the comb.  The photos tell the story.

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.)
