Are these harps the same:
Vamper
#364 Hohner
12 hole echo

Is the #364 is the same as the European version called the Vamper?
And the "12 hole echo" description works for both or is it a separate harmonica model?

I don't know. I tried looking on the Hohner Eu site to figure it out but it didn't say. I did notice you can buy an 'Alabama Blues Harp' on the European site but not the US site. I suspect if someone doesn't know here you can probably find the information on Pat Missin's site.

In the UK and Europe prior to the 70s the Marine Band was called the Echo Super Vamper and the 12 hole was the Echo Vamper.

They are essentially all the same (apart from what's written on one of the cover plates)

@nacoran - Pat's site - bingo! Thanks...
Echo Super Vamper info

@ mvlun - funny the 'Super' vamper was not the 12 hole. (Assuming the Echo Super Vamper is a 10 hole)

Yeah I always thought it was odd that it was that way round too!

But for one coverplate the super vamper is identical in appearance to a 10 hole Marine Band
