The Thunderbird is basically a Marine Band Crossover Hohner available in Low alternative keys one octave lower than the usual diatonic harmonica : Low C, Low D, Low Eb, Low E, Low F, Low G, Low A, Low Bb and even Low Low F (2 octaves lower than a standard F)
It is easy to disassemble, has a great sound projection due to improved covers and had a nice bamboo comb.
Harmonica comb material: bamboo
Recommended for harmonica: All levels Style of music: Blues, folk, rhythm
Always thought F harp was too high and thin, but this great for C or G blues! Really rich chord sound in lowest octave. It bends well right out of the box!
Nothing plays better in this range

I have been searching for a set of low toned harmonicas. After buying several other brands and models, I decided on trying the thunderbird Key of C, because I had read that they were designed specifically to avoid having reeds rattle.
While I had high hopes, I can’t say that the thunderbird is as good as I hoped. There is certainly less rattling than some other models I’ve tried, but there is a buzzing sound on the 1 and 2 holes that I do not like. It is usable, but certainly not I had expected, given the reviews and the price.

I\'m finding the Thunderbird is a little harder to play. It takes a little more breath. It\'s new so I\'m going to keep at it because I haven\'t played it that much yet.
Love it!

The low C Thunderbird is the new 365, with that low \" Sugar Blue / Sonny Boy\" sound. A very sturdy harp, but bring some lung power, Great acoustic or amped up.

I just recently learned about these low-tuned Thunderbird harps and had to have one. After shopping around, Harmonicaland beat Amazon on the price by several dollars & free shipping.
It sounds beautifully and all of the reeds work fine.
I couldn’t be happier with the investment. They’re not cheap, but they’re worth it—well built with extra room for the lower reeds to vibrate.

Steve was very helpful to my understanding of the Thunderbird Key designations. He was patient,and did not hurry me even though I asked him the same questions using different words and perspectives.I am thrilled with my Low F and will be buying more harps from Harmonicaland.

Hohner Thunderbird Low G ... Just what I needed.

Trying to expand my repertoire of songs and the lastest need low key instruments. This baby fits the bill perfectly. Added a Low C already Low A and a Low Low F (just because) coming.
Absolute worst harmonica I've ever bought out of the box. The 1 and 3 blow reeds were bent in and stuck. It was an easy fix, and now it's my favorite low-tuned harp. It was disappointing that it needed work out of the box to make it playable (especially for such an expensive harp), but, again, it was an easy fix.

This thing has a great mellow sound that you can use in your house, but can still get volume if you open up and wail. No Reed rattle.

Very happy with my purchase. Killer price! Playing it held in a harmonica holder and a soprano ukulele. Great contrast. Also, doing the same thing with the low, low F. New, rich sounds compared to my Hohner Marine Band harmonicas. Lovin' it. Feel free to post this review. Thankyou!

Hohner Crossovers have quick and consistent response and a clear, bright sound like no other harp I've played. Thunderbirds bring the same amazing qualities to low keys with almost no noticeable lag or delay on the low reeds. They do take just a little getting used to, but you'll love the results you can get.

I have been playing harmonica since the 4th grade. I have been using Hohner harmonicas the most. I have tried Suzuki, Seidel, Lee Oskar & others, but keep returning to, what I consider, the tried & true Hohner.
