Hohner Special 20 D Diatonic Harmonica with Neck Holder

General

In the early 1970s, a revolutionary change took place in the world of harmonicas. Hohner had added an important feature a the Specials 20 Classic, namely it was given a plastic comb. This made this harmonica extremely airtight and gave it a tremendously fast response. The stainless steel covers with dense sides also contribute to the airtightness. In addition, a plastic comb is also very durable and long-lasting, as the plastic does not swell (unlike a wooden comb). The mouthpiece of this harmonica is also made of plastic, which brings enormous playing comfort. The Specials 20 Classic is suitable for a wide repertoire, from country and folk to blues and soul. The 20 brass reeds of the Special 20 Classic are attached to the tuning plate with screws. You can replace the tuning plates if you wish.

Hohner quality

For over 150 years, Hohner has experience in producing harmonicas played by many well-known international artists, including Bob Dylan and Toots Thielemans. The production process at Hohner is still partly done by hand, the most precise steps such as quality control and tuning are still not done by machine, and never will be. This is because Hohner believes that it can only provide you with good harmonicas if the essential steps in the production process are accomplished by hand. Hohner evokes a certain feeling while playing that only a real Hohner can manage. This Hohner Special 20 harmonica comes with a matching harmonica holder in this set.
