After giving musical instrument manufacturers Hohner USA plenty of potential ad fodder with pictures of him using their harmonicas, Bob Dylan has decided to partner with Hohner to create his own line of the things, according to Hohner’s website [via Billboard.biz]. In unrelated news, we’ve still got our fingers crossed for a line of Bob Dylan undergarments.

Each harmonica in the Bob Dylan Signature Series — available individually or in sets of seven– features a machine stamp of Dylan’s signature and a Dylan-designed logo. Hohner will also manufacture 25 sets of seven Marine Band harmonicas (in the natural keys of C, G, D, F, A, B, and E) that Dylan himself has apparently pre-tested, plus 100 individual Marine Band harmonicas (in C). Both of these limited run items will bear Dylan’s actual signature, and will be available exclusively via Sam Ash Music beginning October 29.

Dylan has a full schedule of shows to play over the next week and a half, continuing tonight (August 30) in Colorado.
