Hohner HOHNER CX12 G

The cx-12 represents the greatest single innovation in commercial chromonica manufacture since hohner‘s introduction of the first chromatic harmonica in 1912.the concept was the brainchild of gerhard knoppek, a hohner r&d staff member who in 1991 was given the task of thinking up a radically new chromatic instrument. knoppek‘s construction was brilliantly simple - the comb and reed plate assembly is mounted in a one piece mouthpiece / housing unit and held in place by a powerful metal spring at the back. the slide can be removed instantly, but is exceptionally airtight. disassembly and reassembly of these components takes only seconds and requires no tools.the cx-12 was presented on the frankfurt music trade fair in 1992 and went on to win a major german industrial design prize. it is the preferred axe of chromatic luminaries such as bill barrett from hazmat modine or la studio crack tollak ollestad and is regarded by many as the most airtight and user-friendly chromatic on the market.

Cx-12for the discerning player who enjoys the details of fine instrumentation, this sporty chromatic can be easily disassembled for fine tuning and customization. a unique, aerodynamic design incorporates both the mouthpiece and cover plates into one unit, enabling a more thorough and uninterrupted resonance and a quick response that up until now was only dreamed of in the chromatic harmonica world. black housing. available in nine of the most popular keys as well as a low octave c major.
