Bob Dylan line of harmonicas due this fall

Beginning this October, fans will have the opportunity to have a piece of Bob Dylan in their pockets. The grumble-voiced troubadour announced he will lend his name and signature to a series of harmonicas manufactured by Hohner USA, the brand he's been spouting out of for decades now.

Branded the Bob Dylan Signature Series, Hohner will exclusively sell individual or sets of seven harmonicas emblazoned with a machine stamp of Dylan's autograph and logo designed by the legend himself. Additionally, Hohner said it will create a limited-edition series destined to fetch bank on eBay: 25 sets of seven Marine Band harmonicas that Dylan pre-tested himself, in the flesh, on top of 100 individual harmonicas for sale. They will be sold exclusively through Sam Ash Music beginning Oct. 29.

Hohner has stated it expects to sell roughly 10,000 Bob Dylan Signature Series harmonicas this fall, and will continue its Signature Series collection by possibly adding Stevie Wonder sometime in the near future.
