What has changed to make it newer?** A: I have to disagree. The new design lets more air to circulate inside the harp. I can feel the difference. I have been playing for about 15 years. All of my harps are Hohner special 20 my c harp is C. I have tried many others over the years. With special 20 it is easier to save on my air. I am in 3 harmonica bands so having more air I don't get as tired. **Q: I'm a beginner, looking for a decent harmonica to learn on. Can anyone recommend what key I should purchase, or does it matter?** A: Compelling reason to but in the key of C that I don't think anyone's mentioned: almost all your online lessons will be done on a C harp. If you stick with it, you'll eventually want half a dozen keys that are common, but to start just get C. **Q: what does the name special 20 imply?** A: The 20 represents the 20 reeds, 10 blow and 10 draw. It is basicly a Marine Band with a plastic comb and covers that are screwed on and not tacked in place. **Q: Is it the made in Germany version or chinese?** A: germany ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Harmonica!! *by C***R on September 4, 2026* What a great harmonica for a beginner or a seasoned player! My granddaughter loved this gift and the bonus lessons were a huge hit! The sound is excellent, it’s easy to play and the quality is exceptional. I highly recommend this harmonica for anyone looking for one for themselves or to give as a gift, you can’t go wrong! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Harmonica *by H***. on September 22, 2026* Good sound. Fits well in my hands. Well built. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and economical for every level (but you be the judge) *by P***Y on August 16, 2018* A couple months ago I decided out of the blue that I wanted to learn to play harmonica. I love blues and blues rock, but also a fan of the sounds of Irish and Celtic tunes and civil war era music. I don't know how to read music, but I do play acoustic guitar (well) and keyboard (mostly chords and arpeggios) by ear. I consider myself to be an casual player with basic skills and intermediate knowledge, but I am still serious about instrument quality, versatility (what can I do with it) and sound. Since I'm not a band member and just play for fun and for me (or anyone in earshot), I don't need a high-end instrument, but I do desire anything reliable and economical. After much research, I decided I'd start with the Horner Special 20 in key of C. I really like it! In just the short month's time I've had my harmonica I've picked it up quickly and have taught myself everything I know so far (well, besides playing by ear and feel I did also pick up some tricks and riffs from YouTube). But this review isn't about me (though I give myself 4 stars). Regarding the harmonica, from what I can in my research, it's basically the same thing as a Marine Band except that it has a black ABS comb rather than a pear wood comb (the comb of the Hohner 560 Special 20 is also ABS, but made to resemble the pear wood). My mouth glides quite easily across the ABS comb without the need to slobber on it to keep from sticking (I'm led to believe wood is better, but I get the feeling it's more of a purists' preference). It is easy to get air across the reeds, producing both very nice sound and volume, and the hardware is solid and doesn't feel like a toy at all. Seems when I ad lib with songs on the blues satellite radio it is very well in tune with the music (perhaps not in the right key, but the notes are still spot on). Recently after playing it hard and long the 6 blow seemed to be causing the 5 or 7 read to buzz, though they seemed fine by themselves. The harmonica still played in tune, though. I rinsed it, shook out excess moisture, and let it air dry and "cool off" for a while before playing it again and it seems to be just fine. I have difficulty bending any of the lower notes with consistency, but I'm certain it's more of a problem with my technique, not the harmonica (I really should take some lessons). I always have it in my pocket or readily available nearby and play it frequently. I will be fond of this -- my first -- harmonica and hope it lasts longer than I do! If you're looking for something with reliable quality and performance yet economical, whether your new or experienced, definitely consider this harmonica. Since I have no complaints about this harmonica, and although I have nothing to compare the performance and quality of this harmonica to, particularly since it's the only harmonica in my life I've ever played and thus I have zero experience as a harmonica player, I can't give it less than a 5-star review. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hohner Special 20 Diatonic Harmonica, C-major - Professional, Responsive Reeds, Injection Molded Plastic Comb with Projecting Mouthpiece - Harmonica Primer Book for Beginners with Video and Audio Access - First 50 Songs You Should Play on Harmonica | Easy Harmonica Sheet Music for Beginners | Includes Blowin' in the Wind, Let It Be, My Girl, Sweet Caroline, and More | Harmonica Songbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/68390038-hohner-special-20-diatonic-harmonica-c-major-professional-responsive-reeds](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/68390038-hohner-special-20-diatonic-harmonica-c-major-professional-responsive-reeds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
