Stainless steel open cover plates deliver bright, powerful tone on this signature harmonica co-designed with renowned French blues player Jean Jacques Milteau. The Hohner Deep Blues Harmonica in F features a transparent blue ABS comb and 20 brass reeds (0.9 mm thickness) that respond equally well to acoustic and amplified performance. Milteau's design brief called for an instrument that could handle both intimate acoustic settings and high-volume stage work, and the construction reflects that dual requirement.
The brass reed plates sit at 0.9 mm thickness, providing durability for regular gigging without sacrificing tonal warmth. Open cover plate design maximises sound projection, directing airflow efficiently whether played through a microphone or acoustic. The transparent blue ABS comb combines structural rigidity with smooth airflow across all 20 reeds. An instruction booklet ships with each harmonica, covering technique and maintenance in English, German, French, and Spanish.
Milteau's own performance demands shaped the voicing – he required brightness for acoustic busking contexts and fullness when running through amplification on club stages. The stainless steel covers resist corrosion from moisture and handling, maintaining consistent response across extended playing sessions. F tuning sits at the lower end of the standard diatonic range, offering warmer tonal colour than higher keys while remaining accessible for cross-harp blues playing in C.
