From the historian of the US Marine Band:
"The Marine Band has never featured a harmonica player....Many years ago the Hohner Company had been naming their various different harmonica models after famous personalities. In 1896 they created a new harmonica and named it the Marine Band. They were apparently hoping to cash in on the fame and name recognition of the Marine Band to boost interest in their new instrument. It has been their most popular model since their founding in 1857."
