Hohner 560BX-C 10 Hole Special 20 Diatonic Harmonica - Major C

Presenting the Special 20 Classic from Hohner

Response, superior bending, and a rich tone are all unique qualities of the Special 20.

The special 20 was one of the first diatonic harmonicas in the world with the reed plates recessed into the comb, creating a projecting plastic mouthpiece. This makes for added comfort to play and the most copied harmonica design worldwide. It has a distinctive sound which is perfect for everything from folk to pop.

Unique Design
The harmonica has a unique, beautifully mellow sound based on the revolutionary concept.

Convenient Carrying Case
Each harmonica features a unique carrying case for added instrument protection and portability.

Comfortable Playing
The projecting plastic mouthpiece and the reed plates being recessed into the comb makes this a very comfortable instrument to play.

The New Standard.

Featuring a durable, airtight, plastic comb, it has become the harmonica of choice for recording artist John Popper (Blues Traveler), as well as musicians that enjoy a wide variety of genres from country and folk, to rhythm and blues.

The Lowdown.

The Special 20 is HOHNERs all-purpose workhorse, one of the most reliable and popular diatonics on the market. The reed plates are recessed into the injection moulded plastic comb, creating a projecting mouthpiece which offers unparalleled playing comfort. Rounded covers without side vents give a warm, powerful tone which has made the Special 20 a favourite among rock and country players as well as blues musicians, with a rich chord sound thanks to the traditional HOHNER tuning. A great harp out of the box!

Available in 12 major keys as well as a special Country Tuning, which features a major 7th when played in the cross harp position.
