DescriptionThis Hohner's Regina model harmonica has nickel-plated brass casings and a wooden comb is painted light blue. It is an unusual model, as the ends are fully rounded and the side plates are fluted at the outer ends. A previous owner reversed the reed plates, causing the blow and draw notes to be reversed.
