A hundred years down the road, the blues is still one of the most influential musical genres around. Its impact can be heard in the pop hymns, rock songs, and even hip hop tracks from all over the world. So we decided to design a new high-end harmonica for the blues and all the styles which grew out of it, using sustainable raw materials, with a powerful original sound that would meet the needs of this new generation of professional musicians. The result: The Crossover. The patented laminated bamboo comb is completely water resistant and extremely airtight, the tone is bright and crisp and the modern compromise tuning is ideal for single note playing, whether acoustic or amplified, while still retaining a full chord sound. Whether you’re into blues, rock, jazz, or soul, the Crossover provides you with the power, sound, and feel you need to bring your dreams to life. Cross over into a new world of harmonica!

"I Never Feel As Truly Alive As When I Play Music."

For generations, Hohner has dedicated everything towards music for a simple reason: Music is a way of life. In fact, you could say it’s the best way of life. People who aren’t into music simply don’t know what they’re missing. Of course we would say that, wouldn’t we? But like countless musicians all over the world, from beginner to professional, we feel so strongly about music that we want to help open the door to this experience to everyone. With instruments designed to convey the joy and the passion which inspires everybody to improve their skills and develop further.

We wouldn’t be where we are now, as world market leader for harmonicas and accordions, if it wasn’t for our passion and our shared commitment to our craft and the traditions which it has inspired. This is a defining element of the Hohner sound, a key to unlock the world of music. Our mission is to pass this passion on to you, with perfectly crafted instruments which enable you to truly Enjoy music.

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”, Friedrich Nietzsche

We’re not sure if Nietzsche wasn’t being a bit harsh with this statement. But there’s definitely something to it. Music is emotional, passionate, and universally understood – so without music, life would certainly be boring.

Here at Hohner, we live music every day. Which is why we want to offer you more than just an instrument: We want to welcome you into the world of music and invite you to join the ever-growing circle of musicians everywhere who are playing together, learning from one another and just having a great time.

We have built a community of friendship, with artists from all over the world, where the simple goal is to Enjoy music.

“Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.”, Lenny Kravitz

A lot has happened since Matthias Hohner founded his company in Trossingen, Germany in 1857. HOHNER became the market leader in harmonicas and accordions with a worldwide network of artists through consistent dedication to quality. Our instruments have strongly influenced the development of the Blues, become a vital part of Folk music traditions around the world, played a significant role in the ongoing evolution of Jazz and found their place on the Classical concert stage. Today we continue to develop new instruments and improve existing ones. Always with the intention to enable everyone, everywhere to Enjoy music.

“The key to longevity is to learn every aspect of music that you can.”, Prince

And one aspect of music is definitely the instrument you create it with.

With over 160 years of technical expertise, a sympathetic ear for our customers, and countless collaborations with musicians and teachers, we have continuously improved our craft – and will continue to do so.

Most of our harmonicas and accordions are still manufactured in Trossingen, our hometown and world headquarters. Combining modern production technology with traditional handiwork, our skilled staff produce high-quality instruments for worldwide distribution. And since most of us are musicians ourselves, we understand and share your expectations.

Our in-house Research & Development department is staffed by highly skilled specialists for free reed instruments and is dedicated to setting and maintaining the highest standards of quality. In close cooperation with leading musicians, endorsees and teachers from around the world, we continually conceptualize new instruments and improve existing ones.

We at Hohner are proud of our craft, our quality standards, and the longevity of our instruments. We will continue to manufacture high-quality instruments that allow people worldwide to Enjoy music.
