Hohner Special 20 – diatonic harmonica in Richter tuning for players (10 holes, brass reeds, ABS comb)

The blues classic for expressive playing – Hohner Special 20

With the Hohner Special 20, you reach for one of the most popular diatonic harmonicas in the world. Whether for blues, folk, country, rock or pop, this model from Hohner’s Progressive series delivers a warm, full tone and a responsiveness that delights beginners and seasoned harp players alike. We offer the Special 20 in the most sought-after keys: C, D, G, A and F major.

Recessed reed plates for comfortable playing

The Special 20 was the first diatonic harmonica with reed plates recessed into the comb. The result is a projecting mouthpiece that sits especially softly against the lips, allowing long and comfortable playing sessions. The sturdy ABS plastic comb stays dimensionally stable and reliable, even under changing climatic conditions.

Brass reed plates and stainless steel cover plates

The 20 reeds sit on brass reed plates 0.9 mm thick, providing a precise, dynamic response and excellent bending behaviour. The stainless steel cover plates give the instrument its characteristic clear tone and protect the inner workings for the long term.
