General

This wonderful Special 20 harmonica by world-renowned brand Hohner has long been a favourite with many professionals, as well as with people that are just starting off their musical career on the harmonica. Thanks to its innovative comb, this model was the first modern harmonica ever produced back in the ‘70s. It provides you with a warm, powerful sound and rich chords. It can be used for various music styles, like blues, soul, folk and country.

The Special 20 C

This particular Special 20 model is in the key of C. Harmonicas in this key are often used for music in the key of G. This Special 20 C is checked for quality several times during the production process. The tuning is also done partially by hand, as Hohner connoisseurs feel that this is the only way to properly check whether or not it is in tune. The reed is filed down until it produces the perfect sound. This procedure ensures you of a perfectly tuned and high-quality harmonica.

The Materials

Several carefully selected materials are used to create this harmonica. The comb is made of plastic, so that your mouth can pass over it smoothly. The reed plates and reeds are made of brass and the covers of stainless steel. If you so desire, the reed plates can be replaced. The harmonica is also completely airtight, so that only the air that you blow through registers.

This is my first harmonica and knowing nothing about them I went on reviews and web recommendations. For a beginner it seems very good and I'm enjoying trying to play it. A good price and delivery was fast.with it.

I'm a novice player was trying my best on a hohner pro c harmonica, but not getting the right sound (probably me). Bought the hohner special 20 c and it feels lighter to play and more bluesy tone.I Really like it. Good, quick service from Bax music

Lovely harmonica for the money with a nice tone. This is my first proper Harmonica after reading many reviews and trusted advice and I'm really pleased with it and the progress I'm making with it already.
Looking forward to many years of use with it.

As a beginner with the Harmonica I purchased the Hohner 20 Special after reading positive on-line reviews. I didn't want to risk an eBay or Amazon purchase as to be honest as I was worried about the instrument being genuine. Bax offers this at a terrific price, I have surety that its the real deal, the delivery was quick and they kept me informed at all stages from purchase to delivery.



I'm very impressed with the harmonica and the customer service from Bax - highly recommended!

Good price for a decent harp but wonder why it came in such a big box and only air cushioned on one side, surely a bit of bubble wrap would have done a better more cosst effective job - standardisiation?
