Hi David. I am trying to purchase new harmonicas in order to complete LOA level 7. One of study song requires Low F harmonica. I am playing on Hohner Marine Band Crossover series, and it looks like Low F doesn't exist there, I have checked on Hohner's site . What type of Low F harmonica you would suggest me to purchase? Thank you!

It is a bit hard to find such harmonica locally, but I will try to get it directly from Germany. Thank you David a lot for your response!

Yeah, low series harmonicas

Yeah, low series harmonicas are harder to find, but that's an essential harmonica in your collection... it's worth the effort.

I was able to purchase Low F

I was able to purchase Low F Thunderbird harmonica in hohner shop at http://www.hohner-cshop.de/en/home/.  The "fun" thing is that you can purchase only components, and assemble harmonica yourself when it come (this reminds me IKEA :)). From other side, I saved some money and used some compatible components of my old broken harmonicas.
