This is not a standard tuned diatonic and it is not what we recommend for beginners. This is a special purpose harmonica. The "Hohner Special 20 (Country Tuned)" diatonic is made specifically to be played in the 2nd Position and is used for songs where a complete major scale is needed while playing in the 2nd Position. The hole 5 draw is tuned a half-step higher than a standard diatonic to make the major scale possible.

Some of the Country Tuned harps come with the original cover plates, some come with the Progressive stamped cover plates regardless of the box it comes in. Hohner will confirm this if needed.

Features Hohner's durable plastic comb with recessed reed plates for playing comfort. The stable, airtight construction and full sound make the Special 20 one of the most popular diatonic models.

Awesome response, superior bendability and the sweetest tone ever. This harp is the first choice for those learning to play. Recommended go-to harp for harmonica players of any style, including blues, country, folk or rock. The plastic comb doesn’t absorb moisture making it longer lasting. Harp of choice of harmonica virtuoso John Popper (of Blues Traveler) and played by Bob Dylan on his 2007/08 tour. Chances are your favorite player has several of these harps in his case.

Reeds: 20

Maj 7th scale/Country tuning

Great way to jazz up your solos. If you can tie your own shoes you can play this thing. One half step change comes with a big payoff. I know I’m the last guy in SoCal to discover the maj 7th scale on a harp. So I’m painfully slow….So Wut? Shipping with Ron is lightning fast. Besides, I’ve always loved Special 20’s.
