The Hohner 280 is the basic workhorse 16-hole chromatic and has been used by many top professionals. Nowadays there are many other choices in all sorts of price ranges, but the 280 remains a solid choice.
Your instrument may be in good playing condition; thats unknowable without examining it. Techs you could send it to include Steve Malerbi in the west or Michael Easton in the east. In addition to rectifying any problems, they can often optimize it to put it in better-than-new playing condition, as most instruments can benefit greatly from post-factory setup.

I am a diatonic player and have not really tried to play chromatic except to experiment a bit. I bought a used Hohner 64 Chromatica 280C which appears to be in sound condition. Being used, I have not really tried to play it, and am considering having it gone over and sanitized and brought to good playing condition. Knowing nothing about chromatics, I could use some expert advice. How good quality of harp is this, and is it worth sending out for work? If so, I do not know who would be reputable repairmen. Some help with this would be appreciated. Thanks, Lare Sattler The Little Chicago Band Canton, Ohio
