Awesome response, superior bendability, and the sweetest tone ever. The Special 20 harp is the first choice for those learning to play. Its special airtight design makes it the most recommended go-to harp for harmonica players of any style, including blues, country, folk, or rock. The plastic comb doesn t absorb moisture, making it longer lasting. Harp of choice of harmonica virtuoso John Popper (of Blues Traveler) and played by Bob Dylan on his 2007/08 tour. Chances are your favorite player has several of these harps in his case. 12 major keys plus lower and higher octave tunings.

Great Sounding Harp

This harp sounds great! Easy to play and bend. The only problem I had was that the reeds seemed to wear out very fast, but, I play very hard and bend a lot. The sound was totally worth it. I'm buying another.

Well im not an achomplished professional harp player or anything but i think i am knowladgeable enough to know what a good harmonica is and what a bad harmonica is.

To me this is defenatley a good one. It sounds beautiful, it is easy to play and bend notes, and it did not take long to break in. i own about 5 or 6 other harmonicas and have played many more but this one is by far my favorite. i wish i could have learned on this instrument, it would have made the learning process so much easier, but hey i am still learning new things and this is making it easier. get one in every key you want.

The Hohner Special 20 is the finest harmonica on the market. I've used them for over twenty years, and have tried every other brand, and nothing compares.

Very Responsive

I am an intermediate harp player and I play with a bluegrass band in college. I had always used the Hohner Old Standby because they were cheap and easy to get. When I wore out my G harp, I decided to upgrade to the Special 20. I pulled it out of the box and without break-in, it played wonderfully. The responsiveness of this harp is truly amazing! If you are a beginner or intermediate that is looking for a good quality upgrade, the Special 20 is the way to go.
