Hohner

The go-to harp for professionals and the first choice for those learning to play.

The Special 20 is the go-to harp for harmonica players of any style, including blues, country, folk, or rock. The Special 20 delivers the coveted Marine Band sound and offers the benefits of its plastic comb: it doesn't absorb moisture so it won't swell, shrink, or crack; it lasts longer and is more airtight than wood combs that can become swollen, twisted, and warped; airtight construction provides increased responsiveness; plastic provides comfort and it's smoother on the lips, preventing chafing.

Another plus of the Hohner 560 Special 20 is that the harmonica's reed plates are recessed into the comb. This keeps the sharp edges of the brass reed plates (found on most harps) from harming your lips. The Special 20 is the harp-of-choice of harmonica virtuoso John Popper of the band Blues Traveler and was played by Bob Dylan on his 2007-2008 tour. Chances are your favorite player has several of these harmonicas in his case.

Harp Review

| Review By: BRENT Higinbotham | 3 months, 4 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

We all know that Hohner does it right -- I happen to prefer the Special 20 (and the original Marine Band, too). I don't think Hohner needs good words from me after 100 years of product, but I must compliment Musician's Friend itself. My first dealings were polite and helpful, prices are competitive if not the best, and delivery was fast and solidly packaged.

First class.

Based on my limited experience with special 20`s and others, I like the 20`s best.  They`re easy on the lips and produce good sound for the money.  They will be what I use from now on!

Decent harp?

Disappointed

Value:
Overall:

I've played a lot of different harps over the years. I decided to give one of these a try. The chords sound better than the Lee Oscars I guess because the holes are closer together. It didn't hold up to my style of playing. I blew it out in over a month. I was disappointed because I liked the tone. It did last a bit longer than a Bushman. I'll replace the reeds or buy another one and baby it or just use it for a gig. My Lee Oscars hold up real well to my hard attacks and over blows. It's a matter of choice. I buy Oscars because the reeds are hard to tear up. I bought a A harp for some E blues songs. I recommend  this harp for the good tone, but if you play hard plan on spending some money keeping these on hand.

560 Special 20 Harmonica

| Review By: Gary Foss | 5 months, 2 weeks ago

4 people out of 5 found this review helpful

Features:

I'm relatively new to playing harmonica, so I really don't know much about features on harmonicas. I can bend notes some on the special 20. I played it in church for worship team, and they absolutely ate it up!!

Quality:

Never had an issue with any of mine,but then again, I'm new at it. Only been playing for a few months. Seems sturdy, and well made. I don't expect that it will have the quality that a hihger priced harmonica would have, but then I'm not that serious of a player to require something that high priced.

Value:

Great bang for the buck!

Overall:

Great harp!!
