The Special 20 revolutionised harmonica design by becoming the world's first diatonic harmonica with reed plates recessed into the comb, creating a comfortable projecting plastic mouthpiece that's been widely imitated across the industry. This innovative approach produces a distinctively mellow sound that works brilliantly across genres from Folk and Country through to Rock and Pop, making it a versatile choice for musicians of all styles.
Built with professional-grade components including brass reed plates and reeds, stainless steel cover plates, and a durable ABS plastic comb, the Special 20 offers the quality and reliability that serious players demand. The recessed reed plate design not only enhances comfort during extended playing sessions but also contributes to the instrument's unique tonal characteristics that have made it a studio and stage favourite.
What sets the Special 20 apart is its ability to serve both beginners and professionals equally well. The smooth playability and accessible price point make it an excellent starting instrument, whilst the professional-quality construction and distinctive sound ensure it remains a valuable companion as your skills develop. With 20 brass reeds across 10 holes and measuring just 10.2cm in length, it's a compact powerhouse that's ready to grow with your musical journey.
