Hohner Special 20 Harmonica

Iconic design. Mellow tone. A lifelong companion for any player.

The Hohner Special 20 is one of the most beloved diatonic harmonicas in the world—renowned for its mellow sound, smooth playability, and innovative design. It was the first harmonica ever to feature reed plates recessed into a plastic comb, creating a projecting, rounded mouthpiece that offers unmatched comfort and airtight performance.

Ideal for folk, country, pop, and rock, the Special 20 combines reliability, durability, and rich tone, making it a top choice for both professionals and beginners. With Richter tuning, brass reed plates, and a black ABS comb, this harmonica is as versatile as it is iconic.
