Our Score

The ideal harmonica for folk and country music. The Hohner Special 20 has the coveted Marine Band sound plus the added benefit of a plastic comb instead of wood. Plastic lasts longer, it's more airtight than wood, and it's smoother on the lips. The genuine brass reed plates are recessed into the comb for more comfortable playing. Key of C.

Key of C Black plastic comb Brass reed plates secured with 6 screws for maximum airtightness Increased airtightness means increased responsiveness Nickel plated covers Hinged plastic case included
