Innovative Harmonica Design
The new GOLD standard in sound and design
The Golden Melody Progressive, HOHNER’s only professional diatonic model tuned to equal temperament, has undergone a radical redesign to improve handling, stability and airtightness. While retaining the warm tone which has made it a favorite of single note melody players in many different styles, the new Golden Melody Progressive offers a fuller, more powerful sound, combined with optimal playing comfort. And it looks great too!
Award-winning design meets iconic sound.
The Golden Melody Progressive was honored with the European Product Design Award 2025 for its refined, modern design and improved playability. Combining a sleek look with enhanced comfort and airtightness, it delivers both visual appeal and a playing experience that lives up to its legacy.
