A narrower mouthpiece radius sets the CX12 Jazz apart from its CX12 Black predecessor, delivering greater control and facilitating single reed note bending for expressive chromatic playing that breaks convention. This Hohner chromatic harmonica pairs that enhanced playability with a red-to-gold opalescent finish and the same award-winning modular design that allows the comb and reed plate assembly to slot directly into the housing without tools. The plastic cover and mouthpiece unit creates an extremely airtight seal, resulting in fast response and the loud, punchy tone chromatic players demand when maximum projection is required.
The reed plates are constructed from 1.05 mm brass, providing the durability and tonal clarity needed for jazz and blues applications. A resilient plastic comb ensures reliable performance across all climate conditions, eliminating the warping and swelling issues associated with wooden combs in high-humidity environments. The tool-less disassembly system allows quick maintenance and cleaning between gigs or sessions. This chromatic delivers the responsiveness and volume that make it a strong choice for players who need their harmonica to cut through in ensemble settings or capture every nuance in studio recording work.
