Hohner M560086: Special 20 C Harmonica, Silver, 30.0 mm*45.0 mm*115.0 mm

Product Information

However, after several months I switched back because I was blowing the reeds out on the Special 20.

Maybe people are recommending C tuning because most online video (YT) are using C tuning harmonicas.It’s obviously not susceptible to any swelling, splintering, or cracking that a wood comb could be over time. John Popper of the Blues Traveler and Bob Dylan are some of the musicians who prefer a Hohner Special 20 to use on stage or in the studio.

I want to learn "blues" and accompany (in recording my cigar box guitar (3 string, slide, tuned GDG). Very comfortable to play, it has a great quality response to the blow, with a rich and distinctive sound. The stable, airtight construction and full sound make the Special 20 one of the most popular diatonic models. The cover plates are stainless steel, on a black plastic comb with recessed, screwed on reed plates for extra air-tightness. Diatonic harmonics are widely used in the blues, due to the arrangement of the holes that allow to obtain the chord of the fundamental note (I) and that of the dominant (V).The zip opening case will hold seven harmonicas so you have space to add two more from your collection. Tone – The Special 20 has brass reeds, but I guess because of the plastic comb, the harmonica has a dark, warm tone compared to the Hohner Marine Band which is brighter, and the Hohner Crossover which is the brightest of the three. With solid construction, it has 20 brass reeds, embedded in a comb made of ABS plastic, very durable and resistant.

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. La beffa oltre il danno è il servizio clienti che, sotto il velo di gentilezza e i vari fronzoli, mi ha praticamente detto di vedermela da solo. The Hohner Special 20 Classic Key of C has reed plates which are recessed into the injection moulded plastic comb, creating a projecting mouthpiece which offers unparalleled playing comfort.

Rounded covers with closed sides give a warm, powerful tone which has made the Special 20 a favourite among rock and country players as well as blues musicians. Reed and cover plate alignment are also excellent, making this a great harmonica for beginners as well as more experienced players. My recent purchase required a couple of alterations in details and they were very responsive about it.

A unique, beautifully mellow sound, based on a revolutionary concept: the Special 20 was the first diatonic harmonica i. It was the first harmonica to be manufactured with the reed plate counter-sunk into the comb so that your lips are not exposed to the edges of the reed plate.
