    Description

    This is the most Rare Professional Chromatic Harmonicas ever constructed. These were built at Hohner USA Factory in the Early 80's by Frank and Cham-ber Huang. Very few were produced as they were hand made to order for a short time. You had to know someone to get one. I have read Stevie Wonder owns one. Most rare and has been sitting in my collection for over 20 years in a case. I paired it with a super mint 1950's Hohner case. I am unsure if they came with a case at all. Both of mine did not, but I was second owner. This one needs service as some of the reeds are gummed up from being put away wet I would be sure. This is how I obtained it and never had it serviced. Fat Head Mike's Harmonica repair in Hershey PA said he would be able to service it and was looking forward to seeing one for real. He in his 25 years has never seen one in person. It took me 40 years to own both the 16 and the 12 units. In both cases they were only sold at estate clearing. This weighs almost 2 lbs and has the build quality of no other. I have owned every Hohner over the years and Nothing is close to this offering . It is not in perfect condition but quite nice in the looks department. There are a few fine scratches before my time. This should be serviced and owned by a Master player. Please look at my other auction for the Custom 12. The last picture is of Frank Huang builder at Hohner, and his son. I had tried to contact them a few times but never had an answer. They own Huang Harmonics.  Thanks. Shipping is 20 dollars in the 48 States. Thanks
