The Special 20

As mentioned before, this harmonica has been around for a while, and many professionals still consider it their instrument of choice. Even Bob Dylan used the Special 20. Furthermore, this harmonica is also perfectly suitable for beginner harmonica players, and for genres ranging from country and folk, to blues and rock. With its plastic mouthpiece, this diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of F offers plenty of comfort and durability. The biggest advantage of a plastic comb, is that it won't swell up over time like a wooden comb will. Besides the plastic comb and mouthpiece, the Special 20 consists of a brass reed plate, brass reeds and a stainless steel cover. Moreover, the Special 20 is extremely airtight, ensuring a lightning-quick response, while still being easy to play. From design to production, Hohner ensured every part of the process lives up to their high quality standards. Now, it's your turn to keep the Special 20's legacy alive, and to showcase your musical talents with this exceptional instrument.
