Hohner Special 20 Progressive C - The classic for beginners and professionals

The Hohner Special 20 Progressive C is one of the most popular diatonic harmonicas in the world - and for good reason. With its warm sound, excellent response and particularly comfortable playing feel, this model is aimed at both ambitious beginners and professional musicians. In the key of C major, it provides an excellent basis for blues, rock, folk and pop - whether solo or in combination with other instruments.

As part of Hohner's Progressive series, the Special 20 stands for tradition and innovation in equal measure.

Manufactured in Germany with decades of experience in instrument making, the Special 20 is a reliable companion for musical journeys of discovery.

Hohner - quality "Made in Germany" since 1857

The Hohner brand has been the epitome of high-quality harmonicas for over 160 years and stands for excellent sound quality and precision craftsmanship worldwide. Manufactured in Trossingen, Hohner instruments combine traditional know-how with modern production techniques. The Special 20 from the Progressive series embodies this claim to perfection: durable, powerful sound and particularly beginner-friendly.

Professional musicians such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and John Popper have sworn by Hohner harmonicas for decades - and they are also extremely popular with amateur players due to their intuitive playability. The Special 20 is one of the best-selling models in the Hohner portfolio and a true classic.

Technical details of the Hohner Special 20 Progressive C

The Special 20 is a diatonic Richter harmonica with 10 channels and a total of 20 reeds. It is tuned in the key of C major and is therefore perfect for beginners, as many teaching materials and songs are designed for this tuning. The reedplates are made of 0.9 mm thick brass and ensure precise, stable tone production.

A special feature is the comb made of ABS plastic. It is dimensionally stable, moisture-resistant and particularly hygienic. The recessed reed plates ensure a seamless surface that is pleasant to the touch and reduces the penetration of saliva - ideal for longer playing sessions.

The stainless steel cover plates not only offer an elegant look, but also protection and stability. The smooth edges and ergonomic design make playing particularly comfortable - both for classical melodies and fast blues licks. With its compact length of 10.3 cm, the Special 20 fits in any trouser pocket and is always ready to hand - perfect for on the go or spontaneous jam sessions.
