It has Marine Band construction, including the stainless steel covers and the brass reed plates, but the similarities end there. The Marine Band Soloist 364/24 has been tuned quite differently. While the Classic is great for playing the blues, the Soloist 364/24 is much better for playing more melodic tunes.
If you have experience playing a chromatic, you'll notice that the tuning is similar, except that the Soloist 364/24 doesn't have a sharping lever. Nevertheless, it has a superb sound, and it's great for playing solo, as the name suggests, or for playing the melodies while someone else plays the harmonies on a different harp
