All are Very Good plus. When Hohner introduced the first ever 10 hole slide chromatic harmonica in 1912, they could not have foreseen how successful the concept would be. Also known as the chromatic harp, the design was awarded a US patent in 1928 and has been marketed under the name Hohner Chromonica since 1938. Thanks to continual upgrades, the Chromonica series not only remains the world's best selling chromatic harmonica, but is also the basis for all subsequent developments in this field, one of the timeless Hohner inventions which have defined the harmonica history of the past hundred years. These are top of the line and quite a sought after piece. Thesmallest one is a Blessing brand,made in China. The case is a bit tattered. The harmonica is really good and shiny, even has the original cloth in there to keep the metal shiny. The middle sized one is a later Hohner from Germany. The sticker on top of the box is loose and detached. Marketed to the Chinese market, this has original leaflet inside. Original wax paper around the harmonica is a bit tattered. Harmonica itself has some grime, this also has Chinese markings in places. Last but not least is the Chromonika in the felt lined wooden case. A little grime to the matel, the slider still works perfectly. A great piece of musical history, a very interesting set. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
