The Hohner Rocket is a high-performance diatonic harmonica designed for maximum volume and comfort. Often described as an "upgraded Special 20," it is part of Hohner's Progressive Series and is built to cut through loud environments like rock or blues bands.
Key Features
- Maximum Loudness: Features wide-open cover plates and large channel openings to optimize airflow and pressure, making it one of the loudest harmonicas available.
- Enhanced Comfort: The first serial-produced harp with a rounded ABS plastic comb (sides, edges, and corners) to prevent lip irritation.
- Easy Maintenance: Uses Torx screws for high stability and easy access for cleaning or reed adjustment.
- Facial Hair Friendly: The seamless cover plate design ensures it won't catch on facial hair during performance.
- Bigger Holes: The channel openings are slightly larger than standard models, which can help beginners isolate single notes more easily.
The Rocket Family
There are three main variations in the Rocket lineup:
- Standard Rocket (Grey Comb): Features side vents in the cover plates for a brighter sound and better self-monitoring for the player.
- Rocket Amp (Green Comb): Has closed side vents to direct all sound forward. This is ideal for "cupping" the harmonica into a microphone for amplified playing.
- Rocket Low (Blue Comb): Specifically tuned one octave lower than standard. It lacks side vents but features a large open back for deep, resonant tones
