The go-to harp for professionals and the first choice for those learning to play.
The Special 20 is the go-to harp for harmonica players of any style, including blues, country, folk, or rock. The Special 20 delivers the coveted Marine Band sound and offers the benefits of its plastic comb: it doesn't absorb moisture so it won't swell, shrink, or crack; it lasts longer and is more airtight than wood combs that can become swollen, twisted, and warped; airtight construction provides increased responsiveness; plastic provides comfort and it's smoother on the lips, preventing chafing.
Another plus of the Hohner 560 Special 20 is that the harmonica's reed plates are recessed into the comb. This keeps the sharp edges of the brass reed plates (found on most harps) from harming your lips. The Special 20 is the harp-of-choice of harmonica virtuoso John Popper of the band Blues Traveler and was played by Bob Dylan on his 2007-2008 tour. Chances are your favorite player has several of these harmonicas in his case.

Comments about Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica:
This has such a great sound my daughter and her friends all 'want one'. I will buy more for a complete set and maybe a few for gifts. Nice they are made in Germany and not [*]. "Wheatland here we come".
Comments about Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica:
Heard alot about the Special 20 from others. The sound is rich. The reeds are easy to work with.
I found our for myself to be just that. I can get the reeds to easily respond to bending also get
them to peform just the way I need for different songs. The size and shape feels good too.
I like it a lot.

Comments about Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica:
Out of all the harmonicas out there, the Hohner Special 20 is the most playable. The plastic comb is molded so that the reed plates set into it rather than just lie on top. This makes the harmonica incredibly airtight. Such airtightness translates into great tone and playability at every position. It also makes it very easy to bend responsively. Great harp for any level player!
Comments about Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica:
This is one of the most air tight harmonicas i have ever played...the bending is very easy and the sound is great. I enjoy playing to rock n' roll and this instrument fits perfect. Its a well rounded instrument that I recommend to all players of different skill levels.
