With over 150 million albums sold, six Grammy Awards and hundreds of sold out shows around the globe, Billy Joel is without a doubt one of the world‘s greatest musicians. The Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame inductee has touched generations of people on all continents with his music.
With his song Piano Man Billy Joel created one of the most legendary songs of all time and his HOHNER harmonica – which has always accompanied him on his way – played a big part.
It only makes sense then that HOHNER honour Billy Joel with his own HOHNER Signature Edition harmonica.
The Billy Joel signature harmonica is very special instrument, and was designed in close collaboration with the legend himself. A Diatonic Harmonica tuned to the key of C, it features custom engraved stainless steel cover plates. The comb has been crafted from Doussie, an African timber chosen for its hardness and resistance to swelling. The comb has also been double lacquered to further protect and enhance the look of this exotic African tone-wood.
For fans, collectors and players alike, the HOHNER Billy Joel “Piano Man” harmonica is packaged in a beautiful display case, which also holds the score for the famous intro to Piano Man.
