Hohner Special 20 harmonica for blues and C major playing
If you are looking for a diatonic harmonica with a classic sound, the Hohner Special 20 is a well-known choice. This Hohner top model has 20 reeds and is tuned to C major, a common tuning for lessons, blues and general diatonic playing.
The Special 20 is known as Hohner’s workhorse: extremely sturdy, reliable and popular for blues applications. Because this model is made exclusively by hand, it also appeals to players who value a carefully finished instrument.
Construction and playing comfort of the Hohner Special 20
The 0.9 mm brass reed plates form the basis of this Hohner harmonica. The stainless steel covers give the instrument a solid finish, while the plastic comb fully embeds the reed plates.
That contributes to the particularly airtight construction of the Special 20. You notice that together with the comfortable mouthpiece range while playing, especially during longer sessions or when focusing on blues phrasing.
