Hohner Little Lady Harmonica
This harmonica is identical to the one which was the first musical instrument to be played in space. Astronaut Walter M. Schirra played “Jingle Bells” on his Hohner #39 “Little Lady” on the Gemini VI Mission, on December 16, 1965. He was accompanied by astronaut Thomas P. Stafford, Jr. on the jingle bells. Schirra’s harmonica and Stafford’s jingle bells are now on display at the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
It was in the gift shop there that I bought my first Hohner Little Lady, for $3.50 — a long time ago! I taught myself to play “Jingle Bells” and “Joy to the World” on it. It comes out of storage every Christmas, and when I’m not playing it, it hangs as a decoration on the Christmas tree, next to a set of tiny jingle bells on a string.

I am a musician along with all my family members and wanted to get something for my son and daughter in-law that they could have a a memento from me to show their love of music. I got a couple of them because these babies are made in europe not china.
Thanks to Hohner for still producing quality products no matter what the size or cost!
