Great harps

I have a number of Special 20s and wanted to replace a few so I got this. The harmonica is great. I'm docking a star because the new plastic cases are not very good. I don't mind if the harps come in a recyclable cardboard case if the point of the case is just for shipping. That would be fine. The old zipper pouches were actually useful, and I have a bunch of those, so I'm all set on that front. But these plastic cases are not built to last, they don't go in a pocket as well as the zipper cases, and it's just plastic that will go in a landfill.

The harmonicas themselves are great. I love the combs and the sound. They do require a bit of gapping for better precision and overblows, but most harps do.

excellant harp

An excellant harp. IMHO the best harp for the money, or even more expensive harps, in terms of tone, playability, and reed life

The trusty affordable go-to

I buy these in bulk for my students, but carry many a Special-20 in my gig set myself. You know exactly what you get: a versatile harmonica that can play clean melodies or down dirty blues. A Swiss army knife in the Hohner catalog.

Thanks for the great review!
