This is the model I prefer
Published on 08/11/11 at 02:50 (This content has been automatically translated from French)This is my companion for a dozen years.
I prefer it to other harmonicas for his good seal (plastic box spring), its beautiful sound to his well rounded and well punchy. Remember to adapt the slat adjustment to your game and you will see it is very easy to get beautiful alterations once you however will integrate and understand the basic techniques ...00jujusagi
Ideal for beginners and more
Published on 11/17/13 at 02:37 (This content has been automatically translated from French)It is now five years since I use the Special 20, after testing the Seydel, Suzuki and other Hohner (classic Marine Band, Blues Harp).
With my experience, this harmonica is the ideal model to begin:
- Comfortable in mouth
- Easy for learning changes (I released my first 3 "with this model)
- Value / price (I've never broken slats)
To start OK, how about me, but after?
I'll make a boat answer, but so true: "The test is to adopt".
Yes, and it is especially comfortable that I did not find any equivalent.
If we want to improve, there Bluexlab aluminum box springs that provide more detail, better glide and more comfort (but not given).Read moreIt is now five years since I use the Special 20, after testing the Seydel, Suzuki and other Hohner (classic Marine Band, Blues Harp).

An excellent lip ruin!
Published on 10/31/11 at 04:40 (This content has been automatically translated from French)It is perfect for me, it is not hard to play. Although I am not an expert on harmonicas, it has the advantage of being particularly handy to have a real comfort to play and not hurt the lips (my lips are fragile). One can very easily get some great changes. It also has a powerful sound but it is very simple to play muted because of its size by reducing the amount of air in his hands (I also have small hands). I regularly use the harmonica for about 7 years, despite the particularly thin blades, it is not especially fragile from the time it takes only minimal care.

The only criticism that 'we can make it is that thin slices make him a harmonica least rsistant other questions, but it is only one black spot full of quality over a perfect harmonious, ca nalready not! !11Dominique Perruchon

The 20 specially against him to be the choice because it will be his only default.
It's intended for both beginners to confirm a player. EMachine a universal error-free choice for an uneventful life.31MrGambetta

Maybe I had a bowl with the model I but for now it is the perfect harmonica!
Only fault limit, a design a little mat and grip a little less comfortable than a golden melody for example. To remedy this I replaced the covers with the covers 'turbo' that fit precisely on this model, guaranteed!
Since it is harmonious with me everywhere.
Therefore recommend for beginners as for experienced players!See less20harmonica blues

Published on 08/03/11 at 14:50The Hohner Special 20 is a harmonica/harp that comes in all of the Western keys. The one that I've used was in the standard key of C, which is probably the Special 20 that you'll see the most of out there. For a diatonic harmonica, this kind is definitely up there with the best of them. They seem to be quite popular, although I don't personally own one. I've got other harmonicas at home, but the Special 20 is one that I've used only on the other side of the glass as a recording engineer after a client brought it in to record with. While I can't speak to it's playability, the sounds of the Special 20 is superb. Of course it helped that the player was top notch, but I'd be hard pressed …Read moreThe Hohner Special 20 is a harmonica/harp that comes in all of the Western keys.

While I can't speak to it's playability, the sounds of the Special 20 is superb. Of course it helped that the player was top notch, but I'd be hard pressed to hear another harmonica that surpassed the sound of this one if I could try it with the same player. Since I don't own this I can't shoot it out against the Hohner harmonicas that I have, but I do think it's a bit better than the BluesBand Hohner harmonica I have. I don't believe that they sell the Special 20's in a set, but you can definitely buy one for each key and even in a 7th cross harp position. The price of the Special 20 harmonicas is a bit more expensive than your average harmonica, as it's possible to get a harmonica for next to nothing, but to get one of quality like this one, it's going to cost a little bit more, which really isn't all that much since harmonicas are pretty cheap in general. Unless you're a pretty experienced player, the Special 20 might not be necessary, but if you're looking for a quality harmonica to record with and are an experienced player, the Hohner Special 20 definitely should be considered.See less00il_tizzone

- Take a Lee Oskar, which costs the same, precise game, accuracy, strength, finishing, Lee Oskar is higher, but ... It is very difficult to draw SPECIAL Overblow while 20 is just a good play for Harmo overblows. Advantage Special 20!
- Take a Golden Melody, superior in all respects SPECIAL 20 (including overblows) ... But it is impossible to put on a harmonica holder because of its rounded hood. Advantage Special 20!
- Now you can still ruin with a Cross or a Suzuki harp not widespread, but when you have broken along the way, what is the harmonica that you will find at the Milonga Zac corner ... A SPECIAL 20!
For all these reasons, and perhaps also to maintain a natural play on an imperfect instrument rather than to nab the bad automation on a super roll-lip, always have a Special 20 in your GEAR!See less40
