Perfect first harmonica

Special 20 was my first harmonica.

It has good enough response for a beginner and large holes, so in the beginning you can fairly easily find single notes and make sounds.

Comparing to marine band 1896 or marine band crossover it is easier to play in he beginning and probably more comfortable, due to hole size and plastic comb.

I sill prefer this one for practice over my crossover that is double the price.

I give it 5 stars since for the price it's fantastic and very good overall, even comparing with way more expensive ones.

So if you are a beginner and looking for your first harp go for it!

Classic model

Not much experience with harmonica's but this one seems to live up to its reputation. Bought for fun and it has been thoroughly enjoyed.

Harp sounds great, beautiful, case is weak

The harp is great sounding and very bluesy. It has beautiful engravings on the top and bottom covers. The case is ugly and the inside is very lightweight plastic--generic looking. Overall I would buy again.

Best harmonica i played

I had some good old memories connected with harmonica my grandad used to play one. This is well made harmonica. The price is objective, really responsive instrument. Perfect choice for a beginner like me who wants to try new musical instruments. I guess this is the best option on a market if you want to start your harmonica journey.

Quality harmonica

I am an absolute beginner, one day hoping to be able to play the blues. Having no experience in other harmonicas, I ended up buying the Special 20 after a fair bit of research. The harmonica feels like a product of good quality, robust construction and it is also stylish. Playing is easy. My non existent skills aside, the notes and chords come easy and the sound is beautiful.

I haven't been disappointed in the Special 20 as my first harmonica. The Little Lady harmonica that came with the deal is also a delight, huge sound for something so small!

Only con's come from the Special 20's plastic case, which could be nicer. I store the thing in a microfiber (or something) pouch meant for sunglasses.

Alltogether, I can recommend the Special 20.

Go to harp for beginner!

I've owned this harp for a few years now, and while I'm no professional - I do enjoy playing it. I bought it off the recommendation of another musician and have yet to be disappointed!

I normally am playing the guitar and singing, so I'll have this on a holder and use it throughout the songs. I'm not a technical player, so I can't say too much on that front, but for those who perform with the classic "troubadour" image - I can recommend it.

It sounds good. It's easy to play. And easy to clean when needed.
