The Marine Band 365 has fourteen holes and is available in keys C and G only. The Marine Band has been Hohner's most popular model of harmonica for generations. Made in Germany on a wood comb, most blues and rock artists play a Marine Band. Several noted users are Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young. There are various subdivisions of the marine band.

I have one of these. What is it worth? (excellent condition in original box)
Well to be honest, I really don't know how much they're worth. I pick this one at a estate sale for $10.00. Try to look it up on online selling sites to see if you can find it.
