A unique, beautifully mellow sound, based on a revolutionary concept: the Special 20 was the first diatonic harmonica in the world with reed plates recessed into the comb, creating a projecting plastic mouthpiece. This makes it more comfortable to play, and the most copied harmonica design worldwide. Its distinctive sound is perfect for everything from Folk and Country to Rock and Pop. The Special 20 offers everything a professional harpist needs, but it’s also the ideal beginner’s instrument thanks to its smooth playability and comparatively affordable price. If you’re not just looking for a companion for the first few steps, but one to take you all the way, the Special 20 is your best possible bet.

Here's the perfect harmonica to learn on. The Hohner Special 20 gives you great tone and excellent bendability. Plus, since it has a special airtight design, the Special 20 is the choice for harmonica players of a bunch of different styles - from blues to country, folk to rock. The plastic comb also doesn't absorb moisture, so the Special 20 is made to last a long time. The Special 20 is the kind of harmonica you rely on, and the pick for countless gigging players (including Bob Dylan on his 2007/2008 tour). When quality and affordability count, go with the Hohner Special 20.
