 Adam Gussow’s Notes:

• Moderate wear
• Spit in cover plates
• Bottom cover plate squeezed
• Draw chord a little sour
• 8 blow out
• Fair

This Hohner Marine Band 1896 in Bb has everything you could hope for in a collectible harmonica from one of the all-time greats.  The covers are tarnished from Sonny’s hands and lips.  The back covers have been slightly crushed through extensive use.  There is a lot of dried-up saliva inside the comb.  There is little question that Sonny played this harmonica long and hard.

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.)
