Hohner Special 20 C Reviews

As described

First time user, so dont expect an indepth analysis here, but the thing looks sturdy, feels great, looks fantastic and as far as i cant tell, is perfectly in tune.

Very reccomendable harmonica

Very good and clear sound. Easy to learn and play.

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.

Great!

As a beginner, I have had a lot of fun learning to play with this harmonica. It's sounds very nice and is easy enough to learn with!

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.

Great Harp

This is my second harp, my first noname is no good, i recommend pay a little bit more and buy some from Hohner.

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.

the all in one expiriance

So, this is my very first harmonica but i looked around and found that the oldies are usually the best ones. it feels and sounds much more then it costs, plus at the time you get another mini harmonica (little lady) as well and that makes it a sweet deal. all and all, its a must have in your arsenal of instruments, and the price was very fair.

Cons: didnt find any yet and i have for about a month now.

Pros: all listed up.

just go ahead and order and stop reading reviews:)

Sounds good!

Very well build, nice engraving, great sound!

Hohner Special 20

I bought this after trying the Seydel blues Session.The Hohner plays easier on holes 123 drawing than on the Seydel.Overall a very good harp.

I would buy this harp again definitely.

Great

Skip the cheap first harmonica and go straight for a Hohner Special 20, highly recommend

Good budget harmonica

I bought this as my first harmonica and it makes all the right noises! If you want to start practicing the harmonica with a great instrument, but you're still on a budget, I'd recommend this one.

Excellent

This is an excellent Harmonica and great value. It sounds good and Doesnt require too much effort to play. What more could you want.

GREAT AS EXPECTED

My go-to key for harmonica most of the time, good honest instrument that has tone and volume, Very pleased.

My first decent harmonica

As a newcomer to the harmonica I had been recommended by a more experienced player to consider this model. I have to say that I like the quality of sound I get from it and have no sound issues or quality problems. I will be buying some more of the same

Good product at good price

this harmonica is really very nice and exceeded my expectations.

Brilliant purchase!

After many years of playing the guitar, I thought it was about time to buy a harmonica to play along with some blues. After much research on the internet, I discovered that this is seen as one of the best harmonicas around, both for beginners in general, as well as blues. I was surprised to see that this is seen as a 'higher end' harmonica, as I see the price to be very reasonable.

Although I am no expert in harmonicas, I can definitely see why this is such an attractive option. The sound that comes out of this is crisp and precise, which will suit any playing style, especially the blues. It is easy to bend the notes, which leads to less learning frustration and ease of playing.

Definitely one for the guitar bag!
