Should I get this harmonica, the marine band harmonica, or the special 20? Which one is better?

There is no easy answer to that question. The Marine Band is the classic blues harmonica. The Crossover is a wonderful harmonica with a great sound. Personally, I think that it is a better built harmonica. However, it is a tad small in size for my taste. It isn't as comfortable as other harmonicas, at least until you get used to it. The Special 20 is also a very nice harmonica - a lot more comfortable on the lips than the Marine Band. It also sounds great. So, it is a matter of personal taste. These are all great harps. That said, my favorite C harmonica is a Seidel 1847 Noble. Unfortunately, those are kind of pricey. The best C harp in the bang for the buck category is, in my humble opinion, a Seidel Blues Session - great sound, perfect feel in the hand, well made. As I said, it is strictly a matter of personal preference. The 3 Hohners you mentioned are all great.

Is this made in Germany?

I have several and all of them were made in Germany.

What idsdrawing and bending?I know how to play the harmonica, but I don''t know this tewrm

Drawing is inhaling and bending is what you do with your mouth to raise or lower the key a half step.

I see this one and another one that costs $115. Look the exact same. Any one know what the difference is?

I don't know which other harp you are looking at but if it is a Crossover, it should be the same. Depends on which key you are looking at as to the price. Some of the Crossovers are higher in different keys. Or that's the way it was 4-5 years ago when I bought several Hohner Crossover harmonicas. The price was about $10 a piece less then also. By the way, they are great harps!
