Marine Band Deluxe G : Great traditional blues harp

Over the years I have tried a big bunch of different blues harps but none shook my tone bones like this little piece of South German craftsmanship.

You get all the comfort and playability of modern acrylic comb harmonica at the round and lofty sound of a wood comb. The "mouthing" is much nicer than on the Marine Band standard harps due to the sealed pearwood comb.

Today, there are several providers of sealed wood comb harps, but back in the day this was the very first non-Custom-Shop harp with this feature and I stuck to it ever since.

Unlike harps like the Bushman Delta Frost or Lee Oskar with the lids recessed inside the acrylic comb, this harps gives a nice and direct, natural feel, without being uncomfortable.
