Hohner and Bob Dylan Historic Collaboration - Germanyby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 What happens when you join a 151-year-old musical instrument manufacturer with one of the world’s most legendary musicians who happens to be the single most influential harmonica player in the annals of popular music? You have history in the making, of course! The Hohner company and Bob Dylan are proud to announce ‘The Bob Dylan Collection’ of hand-signed harmonicas, celebrating the accomplishments and legacy of both Dylan and Hohner. Bob Dylan has used the accordion and harmonica in many album sound tracks. Hohner has manufactured and distributed musical instruments since 1857, making it one of the world’s oldest musical instrument makers, most famous for its reed instruments. Bob Dylan – venerated American singer-songwriter, author, poet and disc jockey – has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. During his career, Bob Dylan has won awards for his song writing, performing, and recording, earning him eleven Grammys (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), Kennedy Center Honors, and an Academy Award. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2008, Bob Dylan was awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power." Appropriately named the Bob Dylan Signature Series Harmonica, this new product is available individually in the key of C, as well as in a set of seven natural keys of A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. The harmonica features custom cover-plates bearing Bob Dylan’s signature, a carrying case embossed with Bob Dylan’s “Eye” logo, and an outer gift box featuring an exclusive picture of Bob Dylan in the inside cover. |
