Hohner CX12 Harmonica in the Key of A

Winner of the German Industry Design Award in 1992, this chromatic harmonica from Hohner introduced a tool-free disassembly system that changed how players maintain their instruments. The Hohner CX12 Harmonica in the Key of A delivers the powerful, distinctive tone that made the CX12 series a go-to for rock, pop and jazz players. Its construction centres on a comb and reed plate assembly that slots directly into the housing without fasteners or screws, allowing for quick cleaning and maintenance between gigs or sessions.

The integrated plastic cover and mouthpiece unit is moulded as a single component, creating an extremely airtight seal that contributes to the fast response and unique tonal character. Brass reed plates measure 1.05 mm thick with brass surface finish, providing durability and consistent tuning stability. The plastic comb resists swelling and warping across all climate conditions, maintaining air-tightness and playability whether recording in air-conditioned studios or performing outdoors in Australian heat and humidity.
