Crafted with German precision, it’s the harmonica of choice for professionals and beginners alike, perfect for genres from folk to rock. Lightweight and durable, it comes with a polished stainless steel finish and a protective case, backed by a 90-day warranty. ## Description A unique, beautifully mellow sound, based on a revolutionary concept: 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. If you’re not just looking for a companion for the first few steps, but one to take you all the way, the Special 20 is your best possible bet. Review: The special 20 is the sound I hear in my head when I think blues harp. - I'm actually a professional keyboard player, but also double on harp. I don't put it on my business card, but have been playing harp for over 25 years . I've been around the block with Blues Harps, Lee Oskars, and the special 20's I used to always default to blues harps, but always hated what happens to the wooden comb, and the sound was always a bit harsh. They also started getting more expensive. I flirted with a few Lee Oscar's because I liked the availability of minor keys and that they were repairable. After trying a Special 20 a few years back, I fell in love with the comb and sound. Though pricey, I started gradually switching to them exclusively; at least for all the common R&R keys. They sound like what blues harp sounds like in my head. The 20's have got the right balance of sweet but still cutting tone, bend-ability, and playability. They break in easily, comfortable to hold, and pretty well made. I recently had a gig with a country artist that does his album stuff tuned down to save his voice- so all the usual suspects were in flatted keys. I play mostly amplified cross harp and had to cover his recordings signature fiddle parts on harp (while also playing piano...). My stable of old worn out flatted key Hohner blues harps were not going to cut it. I also needed a new D & A harp. I was about to just order SP20's but thought I'd save a few bucks by buying and trying a Suzuki bluesmaster first, before I replaced the rest of the harps I needed. I loved the way the Suzuki felt in my hands, and the sound was very good. I actually preferred the shape of the Suzuki over the 20. But the spacing on the comb felt odd and the tone wasn't loud enough for me. I'd say the Suzuki was "similar" to the 20 but something just didn't feel the same, like it was 70% there.... It was a good test (and alternative) for harps in keys I don't regularly need. But for the primary harp keys I promptly sucked it up (or draw'd- in harp speak...) and ordered Special 20's. Now my harp box is 80% SP20's. I'm no John Popper, but I just feel much more confident and inspired using these, and happy to just use nothing but. They react and sound like I expect them to, and don't take a lot of effort to play- so bottom line: worth it. I know the Seydels are supposed to be great and would love to try them, but since I've also got a huge investment in keyboard gear, the Sp20s work well as my "second job" tools. If you're just starting out, have gone past your starter harp, and have decided to stick with it, the Hohner 5 pack is a good value to save a few bucks on quality instrument. Review: Great Harp!

Love It! *by S***H on February 11, 2026* Great Harp! I Love It! Easy to play, pure Classic Blues vibe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special 20's have always worked the best for me.... *by R***N on February 10, 2025* Lots of different types/models of harps. Some obviously better for certain situations. But if want to LEARN harp, don't get a $12 harp. Spend the difference in money and you will be well rewarded. Same is true for most instruments, certainly a guitar. This is one of the easiest harps to learn how to play and they sound great and are quite durable. Most of mine last for years, which is good, because they are getting expensive (1 per key, really?). Used to be $25 all day long when I first started buying them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hohner 560PBX Special 20 Harmonica, Key of D - Harmonica Primer Book for Beginners with Video and Audio Access - Lee Oskar Harmonica, Key of C, Major Diatonic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/712292-560pbx-special-20-harmonica-key-of-d](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/712292-560pbx-special-20-harmonica-key-of-d) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
