The Special 20 was the first diatonic harmonica in the world with
reed plates recessed into the comb, creating a projecting plastic
mouthpiece. This makes it more comfortable to play, and the most
copied harmonica design worldwide. Its distinctive sound is
perfect for everything from Folk and Country to Rock and Pop. The
Special 20 offers everything a professional harpist needs, but
it’s also the ideal beginner’s instrument thanks to its smooth
playability and comparatively affordable price.
