in a while a I pick up one and blow a few notes and try to imagine
myself wailing the blues....
I've sold a few harmonicas over the years, but this one blew me away
when I saw it and heard it. It's the Hohner 265 chromatica bass
instrument: looking like to large harmonicas hinged together. The box
is marked in German "chromatische Bass-Harmonika."
This must be the most expensive harmonica made: New these have a list
price of over $1,300 and retail for about $950. I've placed my used
one on Ebay for less than half that:

- even if you have no desite to play one, you have to see the photos.
