| Daniel I. on 11/22/2021 | This is my first harmonica. I admit I do not know much about them. Purchased this based on the hundreds of recommendations for beginning with a Special-20 in C. Seems like a well made instrument. |
| Thank you. |

| Everything I heard it would be |
| Charles R. on 06/28/2021 | Full, mellow sound. Tight. No squeaky reeds, even in the very high end. Bends easy right out of the box. Pros already know about these excellent harps. If you are a beginner, you cannot buy a better, mid-priced, quality harp to start out. |

| Sounds great |
| Austin B. on 03/25/2021 | If you're wondering if the extra 20 bucks for a Special 20 instead of a Bluesband or something is worth it, it absolutely is. Way easier to play and sounds way better. |

| Special 20 try out |
| joe m. on 12/18/2020 | I normally play the Hohner Blues Harp or Marine Band harmonicas but had heard a lot of players like the Special 20 so thought I'd give it a try out. It's a Hohner so that's a plus and it plays well. Meaning, it you're new to harmonica the special 20 won't require a lot of practiced technique to get a pretty good sound right out of the gate. I did find it has a little less volume and fullness that the 1896 but all said it is good harp. Back in the day we used to dunk our harps in water to get a more raw, coarse sound but it can take a toll on a pear wood harp but I'm told with the all synthetic comb on the 20 that's not as big an issue. |
| Good product |
| Nathan F. on 12/15/2020 | Excellent harmonica! |

| William S. on 11/05/2020 | I bought a Special 20 and a Harmo Polar, the Polar is much better and better priced Disappointed by the Made in Germany quality |
| Hohner Special 20 C |
| Melissa K. on 10/30/2020 | I love my new harmonica, I had a Special 20 D & have been wanting a C. The Special 20 is way to play right out of the box and nice & loud. I'm enjoying playing it, as my other harps are rather old & a few notes out of time. Plays great. |
| So easy |

| 1st harmonica |
| Juan G. on 03/18/2020 | The hohner special 20 being my 1st harmonica I can't compare it to others. I can say from the week I've owned it... it's a great harmonica. The special 20's recommended to beginners by professionals and I see now why, nice sound and comfortable to play. |
| HOHNER SPECIAL 20 |
| Brian H. on 02/29/2020 | Great sound |
| HOHNER SPECIAL 20 |
| Brian H. on 02/29/2020 | Easy to blow |
| Hohner Special 20 is good |
| Rick K. on 02/28/2020 | From the moment I blew on it from a few inches away to warm it up the first time, I've been impressed with the sound. It's easy to make those reeds sing. I'm a beginner, so I can't adequately compare it to any other models. I can say this one does not have a cheap feel to it. I like the sound too. |
| Rock n Roller |
| Terry H. on 02/13/2020 | I had a great experience dealing with Harmonica Land. Great price and I got the harp with in 2 days. I for sure will order again when I need another harp. |

| david c. on 01/06/2020 | I was given a Hohner auto-valve-harp for Christmas from my grandfather when I was very young ( I am 77+now). the price on the box is 6.25. But it is a Bb and I always wanted a C. Now trying to get my great grandchildren into playing. Needed a C that blew easy. |

| Edwin C. on 10/14/2019 | i have not bought a special 20 in maybe 25 years now. They seem to have notes now that you have to blow on at the right angle or you get not much or no sound I though the reeds where blow on a couple notes |
| not what they use to be |
| Edwin C. on 10/14/2019 | have to blow just right on them to get sound right |
| some of the reed seem tinny |
| Edwin C. on 10/14/2019 | have to watch how you blow notes on these now |

| Sticking Reeds |
| Darrel B. on 09/11/2019 | I am a beginner. I spent some time on a cheap harmonica that came with a "learn to play book". Felt like I was getting the hang of it and upgraded to the Special 20. It seems that the reeds on holes 7,8, and 9 stick at times. The sound is either weak or sometimes nothing at all. When it happens it frustrates me because I don't know for sure if it's me or the harmonica. When this isn't happening though I love it. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate the help. |
