[Harp-L] Polyphonia #7, Educator Soprano, Educator Alto

[MilwHarmonica@xxxxxxx]

Greetings.
 
I couldn't find any information about the Educators (Soprano and Alto), but  
It's a guess that they were made between 1930-1940. You've written that they 
are  chord harmonicas. Hohner also makes today's Educator 10, a slide chromatic 
 harmonica with 10 holes (2.5 octaves).
 
Hohner made a series of Educator harmonicas in those years '30s to '40s),  
including a bass harp. The bass harp had one comb. It was similar to today's  
Suzuki Alto Single. 
 
The Hohner Polyphonia #7 was made from about 1930 to a little after 1971.  
Left to right, it measures 
10 and 3/8ths inches. It's range is from the D below the bass clef to the D  
below the treble clef. It has single holes, each with one blow reed, and it's 
a  slideless chromatic harmonica.  It's scale reads: D-D#-E-E#, etc.
 
The $ value of these antique harps will be determined by their physical  
condition, buyer's price and seller's price.
