Hi SauceBroskie! Thanks for writing me again. It's always nice to hear from a former student! By any chance could you tell me what school I taught you at?
Your videos and stevie wonder inspired me to pick up the chromatic harmonica. Any tips or advice for someone who’s a complete noob? I played diatonic before but this is an entirely different instrument
Much appreciated, Eamonn! It took a good bit of effort to go from opening the package to playing it without having a cut in the video. I wanted to show that there was no adjustments made straight out of the box. :)
Hi Eamonn! No, I didn't really find them weak. I thought they were pretty strong sounding for a stock chromatic harmonica. You can hear them played in the video, all the way up to that hole 16 draw with the slide in high D. You might have to adjust the reeds but more often it is your playing technique that will get those notes to respond easier and more clearly.
Usually they're like this standard from any factory. The lowest note goes to a C3, the C below middle C on the piano. Sometimes lower keys were made but usually by special order or from a customizer. I think Suzuki came out with one that is one octave lower than this one. But to get low notes that project and respond better, there are the cool bass harmonicas like the Hohner 78.
Hi Robert! Thank you! It's doing very well and staying nicely in tune. I just had two gigs with it last week, and the harmonica was flawless. I have an old Super 64X from the 1990's and this new one has better response and volume, stock!
I think it depends on the country that you live in for the pricing but it's one of the higher end of chromatic harmonicas that Hohner makes. Also, for the complexities of making a double thick reedplate harmonica. Check in with your local music store to see if they supply Hohner harmonicas. If they don't have one in stock, the should be able to order one for you.

Hi Phelan! The price is around $650 or $680. If you're in the US, you could buy it from rockinronsmusic.com, who is a harmonica dealer. If not, see if your local shop could order it for you. The Super 64X is the only harmonica where you get that powerful double reed plate tone!
I had it , but i didnt get proper sound to play hindi songs because till 2/3 of the tune is of lower octave. I paid Rs 45 000. My money just gone to dust bin . I am also a good harmonica player , i have CX 12, Seydel Saxony, Chromatix, Chromatic 270. Chromatic 270 Delux , Eastop,
I’m not understanding why this harmonica wouldn’t suit you for those songs when the other harmonicas you listed apparently do. The Super 64X has an extra octave of range compared to a 270 or Saxony.

Excellent Hohner Super 64 X! Congrat's!
Thank you! It’s a beautiful harmonica with that powerful double thick reed plate tone.
Hohner will be happy to see this one. Nice presentation, Great job Boaz
Thank you, Danny! It's a really nice playing chromatic.
Congratulations Boaz !
Thank you, Brian! It's a really nice chromatic!
Hi!!!! I was one of the kids that you voice coached. Just wanted to say thanks for what you did! Also nice vid!

Congratulations on the harp and it sounds very smooth, especially coming out the box brand new
Thank you, Matthew! This is really the best playing chromatic I've gotten out of the box!
Great review

What I like about the Super x is the low notes come through loud and clear
Oh yes. The lower range especially is unique and powerful!
What is the price of the suer 64? How much does it cost? I need the one with 16 holes. I need to know how it can be sent to Morocco.
It might depend on the Hohner dealers in your country. Please check your local music shop and they might have it or be able to order one for you.
I'll have mine in in a week! Thanks Man!
Congratulations on getting a Super 64X Performance!
Thanks! i also got the bass. model also.. it's fun!@@BoazKimMusic
Amazing!!! May I ask who you ended up buying them from?
I thought you recommended George M@@BoazKimMusic
I did recommend him! Super cool that you went through George. I hope you’re loving these new harmonicas and your new venture into the bass.
Did you find the two top notes tone weak - is there any adjustment required. Thanks once again - you are accomplished player / reds Eamonn

What are the deepest range cromathic harmonicas out there?
Usually they're like this standard from any factory. The lowest note goes to a C3, the C below middle C on the piano. Sometimes lower keys were made but usually by special order or from a customizer. I think Suzuki came out with one that is one octave lower than this one. But to get low notes that project and respond better, there are the cool bass harmonicas like the Hohner 78.
Good job man how's it holding up

¿DONDE SE VENDE?
From your local music store that sells Hohner products. In the USA you can also order from places like Rockin' Ron's Music.
i like it verymuch...
Thank you for your comment! It's a great sounding harmonica with that powerful double thick reed plate tone.
I live in Morocco. Why do you only show the product without information on how to purchase one online? Can't sell harmonicas that way.
Hi Phelan! You should be able to find a Hohner distributor in your country. Probably almost any music store can at least special order one.
That's Massive dude
Thank you! Yeah, that tone it produces is so powerful for a chromatic harmonica!
Hermosa armónico, estoy interesado. Informar precio puesto en Argentina (Salta). gracias.
Hi. Your best bet is to check with your local Hohner distributor to find out the price in Argentina. It’s got a great tone!
Woow nice,...
