harmonica Hohner Silver Concerto silver

The Hohner Silver Concerto for the purest harmonica tone

Classical compositions can present artists and instruments with great challenges when it comes to correctly reproducing the musical subtleties and nuances and fascinating the listener with gripping emotions. To master these complex acoustic and musical challenges, the artist must be able to rely completely on their instrument.

That's why Hohner worked closely with classical music legend Tommy Reilly to develop the Silver Concerto - an instrument renowned by classical virtuosos from around the world for its pure sound and wide dynamic range.

Each Silver Concerto is handcrafted to order with great attention to detail. The lid and comb are made of solid 925 sterling silver, which in combination with the extra thick, nickel-plated reedplates creates the bright, powerful sound. The newly designed mouthpiece is closed to the slide to make it even more airtight and ensure a quiet slide action. The Silver Concerto is the ultimate chromatic harmonica for the classical player, whether in a small, intimate ensemble or in an orchestra.
