The blues classic for expressive playing – Hohner Special 20

With the Hohner Special 20 you are reaching for one of the most popular diatonic harmonicas in the world. Whether in blues, folk, country, rock or pop – this model from the Hohner Progressive series impresses with a warm, full tone and a response that delights beginners and experienced harp players alike. We offer the Special 20 in the sought-after keys of C, D, G, A and F major.

Recessed reed plates for a pleasant playing feel

The Special 20 was the first diatonic harmonica with reed plates recessed into the comb. This creates a projecting mouthpiece that rests particularly softly against the lips and allows long, comfortable playing. The comb made of sturdy ABS plastic stays dimensionally stable and reliable – even under changing climatic conditions.

Brass reed plates and stainless steel cover plates

The 20 reeds sit on brass reed plates 0.9 mm thick and provide a precise, dynamic response with good bending behaviour. The stainless steel cover plates give the instrument its characteristic clear sound and protect the interior permanently.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Comfortable mouthpiece: recessed reed plates and projecting mouthpiece for a soft playing feel.
• Full, warm tone: ideal for blues, folk, country, rock and pop.
• Sturdy and climate-stable: comb made of ABS plastic, cover plates made of stainless steel.
• Precise response: brass reed plates 0.9 mm thick for expressive bending.

Practical tip

For getting started with the blues, the key of C major is the most common choice. If you play in a band, go by the key of the pieces – the Special 20 is made to the same high standard in all available keys.
