Special 20 Classic E really is a classic
Alan Joseph 20.05.2016
I am very biased because my first real harmonica was a Special 20 and that is what I have been playing all my life. For the price I think this is the best value on the market for a good, basic harmonica for standard use. I am more of a singer/songwriter, not a harmonica expert but I have tried quite a few other brands and models of harmonicas and keep going back to the Special 20?s. Why? Well they are very comfortable and easy to play and they usually last a long time (with almost daily use) although I have had a few lemons and I have blown out a few reeds but that is to be expected. I usually use this harmonica in the Dunlop harmonica holder (it only works with the standard shaped harps) while playing guitar or for recording stuff in my home studio. I would recommend this product to beginner and intermediate players and for anyone who wants a great all-purpose instrument. You really can?t get a better harmonica for the price. One thing to be aware of is that the Special 20?s are available in several different tunings There is a country tuning and a low tuning. The low tuning is just like the standard tuning but lower. I have one of these and I love it as well. The country tuning is a bit different and is made to play in 2nd position so the notes are a bit different. So do your research before buying.

Love the Specal 20
Anonymous 14.05.2016
This is my 3rd Special 20. These are great harmonicas. The price is a little daunting but you get what you pay for. I've bought a few $10-$15 harps that sound good at first but then lose their power quickly. These harmonicas hold their powerful sound for a really long time. My D harp is quite old and still plays better than my new Hot Metal. It's quite easy to bend notes and play with sounds on these harps. Highly recommended.

Great all-rounder
Steven7148 30.12.2014
While not an accomplished harmonica player, I really enjoy playing. The Hohner Special 20 harmonicas are great sounding and suitable for a wide variety of music styles.
I play every week and use them for country, folk and Irish songs - as varied artists as Old Crow Medicine Show, Neil Young and The Pogues. I play acoustic guitar and use a holder to play both at the same time. When I finally do wear them out, I just re-order another one. They are worth it ;)

Ein tolles Instrument für Anfänger und Profis
Matthias148 18.11.2009
Hallo Harpfreunde, mit der Special20 von der Firma Hohner erhaltet ihr ein Instrument was sich sowohl für reine Anfänger wie auch für Profis bestens eignet.

Sehr gut verarbeitet, keine scharfen Kanten wie andere Hohnermodelle und extreme Luftdichtigkeit (Stimmplatten sind 5 fach verschraubt !) zeichnen diese handgemachte Harp aus. Die Deckel sind aus Edelstahl und daher besonders für Allergiker empfehlenswert. Der Kanzellenkörper aus Kunststoff ist extrem plan und besonders lippenfreundlich gearbeitet. Die Lösabstände sind ab Werk hinreichend genau eingestellt und lassen out of the Box sofort Spielfreude aufkommen. Diese Spitzenharp hat einen brillianten und ausreichend lauten Klang und ist zu recht das mit am meisten empfohlene Instrument seiner Klasse. Selbst Profis wie Tom Ball spielen ausschließlich dieses Modell, was ich selbst eindrucksvoll miterleben durfte.

Seit fast 3 Jahren spiele ich dieses Modell und bin nie enttäuscht worden. Fazit, mit dieser Harp liegt Ihr genau richtig.
