DescriptionThis Hohner's Regina model harmonica has nickel-plated brass casings and the 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.
Dimensions5-1/8 x 1-1/4 inches
