Antony Dannecker Harmonicas PortraitThe Dannecker family tradition with harmonicas started in 1895 in Germany with the appointment of engineer Carl Dannecker to the Hohner harmonica company. Carl then dedicated the rest of his working life to the technical development and manufacture of harmonicas. Over the years many other Dannecker family members, including Antony's father, the late great Willi Dannecker, have worked with the Hohner company and professional harmonica players right up to the present day with Antony Dannecker, professional harmonica craftsman and consultant for the Hohner company.

Antony's harmonicas are in constant demand the world over, especially in the united states of america where the outstanding quality of his harmonicas is legendary. Every single harmonica ordered is custom hand built personally by Antony and incorporates his numerous specialist refinements guaranteeing optimum air-tightness, reed responsiveness and fine tuning to the highest degree of accuracy for which he is world famous.

Antony continues the Dannecker tradition in the technical development of new and exciting harmonica projects. The introduction of the Dannecker Blues harmonica is a representation of over 100 years of Dannecker experience and know-how and has been received with critical acclaim from top harmonica stars the world over.

Soon to be launched is an exceptionally fine blues instrument constructed entirely from solid brass. This new harp called the Dannecker Blues Optimus is guaranteed to cause a major stir within the harmonica blues community. Antony now offers Dannecker Blues combs for the Hohner Marine Band and Special 20 Classic series - taking these outstanding harps to a new level of performance.
