Step into the spotlight with the Hohner 1490 Blues Blaster Harmonica Microphone, a timeless piece of gear that’s as iconic as the blues itself. Crafted with a classic cup-shaped housing, this microphone pays homage to the traditional design favored by legendary blues harp players. Its sleek chrome-plated grill not only adds a touch of vintage flair but also provides durability for those intense jam sessions.

What sets the Blues Blaster apart is its high output crystal element, delivering a warm and expressive tone that perfectly captures the soulful essence of your harmonica.

Featuring a built-in volume control, it offers the flexibility and control you need on stage, allowing you to effortlessly tailor your sound on the fly.

Its rugged, dependable build makes it a reliable companion for gigs and studio sessions alike. And with the included 20-foot chord, you have ample freedom to move and express yourself without restraint.
