Hohner Special 20 C, One Size

I’ve been playing this for well over a year now. It really is a joy to use. It sounds wonderful and sits in the hand perfectly. Although I have only owned a couple of harmonicas, the quality of build seems 2nd to none. I have found it very easy to bend notes. I’m very happy with my harmonica and would highly recommend to others.

I can barely play a note but my skill level shouldn’t reflect on this lovely harmonica. It seems well built, good quality and sounds good in the right hands.

great harmonica and well worth the money. great sound and easy to play. great for new or experienced players

OK, I'm a novice. My father used to play a Hohner Marine Band when I was a kid and I always had an inkling that one day I would like to be as good as he was. After viewing lots of reviews and tutorials on You tube I opted for hohners 'Special 20' as it has a plastic comb and is not affected by swelling or warping as wooden combs can be so the plates stay tightly sealed to the comb so as not to leak air whilst playing. It is worth looking at 'Sonnyboys' series of harmonica reviews and demos of all the harps they sell - of course the 'Special 20' is highly recommended. I was delighted to see that the 'Special 20' is hand made in Germany and not China as some are. It also comes in a rugged custom fit plastic case to keep it safe and clean. As a foot note I must state that the service from the merchant 'Sonnyboys music store' was outstanding! After my first harmonica was swiped out of the package by our glorious Royal Mail, they dispatched me a replacement that was received less than 24 hours later.

This harmonica had a good tone and a pleasant warm sound. So far using it i have found that the blow holes are quite durable and also comfortable to blow into. They are slightly out of tune now but maybe thats just my playing. Overall, very good.

Excellent little harmonica, I will certainly purchase more in different Keys, recommended by most pro's as the default starter harmonica, this piece of low maintenance, great sounding german engineering will have you impressed from the get go. Well packaged, tidy plastic storage case, good enough to perform with on a stage if you've got the talent. Which I don't. But I have a nice sounding harmonica and am practicing daily.

Build quality excellent and wonderful melodious smooth tones. Great value at the price.

Fantastic harmonica from Hohner, sounds great and exactly what I wanted.

La sua facilità d'uso, il tono caldo e la risposta rapida la rendono una scelta affidabile sia per chi è alle prime armi che per chi ha conoscenza dello strumento.

I own and play a wide variety of brands on stage. I have decided that (going forward) the Special 20 will be the only one I buy. It is long lasting, easy to play, great sounding, and requires less maintenance.

Es una harmónica muy bonita y está hecha de excelente material. Perfecta para tocar, muy buena pieza musical.

To me, this is the best harmonica to own. Cheap harmonicas are impossible to play properly. I like the special 20 more than the standard marine band because the special 20 has a plastic center. The marine band is wood, which can swell from moisture in your mouth. I also find the special 20 plays easier than the “blues band” Hohner. It sounds just fine for the bluesy rock I play. Notes are easy to bend.

Wie Hohner Mundharmonika lässt sich sehr angenehm spielen und hat einen sehr guten Klang
