Easy to play and has a professional sound November 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I do not play the harmonica as such, I like to play with it. I bought the Hohner Special 20 'key of C' here on Amazon. I also bought a 'key of G' elsewhere (it was not available on Amazon at the time) just to cover a little wider range. I also like to play with a guitar.
I have played with some cheaper plastic harmonicas. From my limited knowledge, these Honers create more vibrant sound with less effort on both in and out breaths than anything I had used before. My first expression was 'wow', after I blew out just one note.
For the novice, like me, this Honer has ten 'holes' that will create one note on the 'out breath' an a different one the 'in breath'. Twenty notes. A creative person can get more notes out of one of these things, that is part of the fun of a harmonica.
Enjoy

 HARMONICAS ARE A JOB October 25, 2008

Playing the harmonica is Like a smoking problem. You will spend 30.oo dollars every 2 months forever, until you quit. WHY ? Because in order to play good ,hard blues ( That sound good ). Your going to brake these things every 2 maybe 3 months........to be satisfied, and make you feel good. Don't let that get you down though....this brand of harmonica is ranked among all the pro's as one of the best for blues. But you have to remember...HARMONICA playing is a HABBIT and you will spend 200.00 dollars a year on these things to play GOOD BLUES. They are not a GIBSON guitar , that will last you forever. In order to play and sound and be good......YOU GOT TO BRAKE THEM. " Push them to there limits". And these SPeacil 20's are one of the best. Lee OSKARS are as well. But SPEACIL 20's produce more RHYTHEM,WARM SOUND, DEEP SOUND,EXPRESSION , than other harmonicas on the market. But they will brake. BUT WHO CARES, WHERE PLAYING THE BLUES.( And it feels good.)

IF you like great feel,CONSISTENT tone, loud tone.This is the one. The LEE OSKARS have a bad TRIANGLE style of cover-plate...POOR DESIGN. If they where made with Honers COVERPLATE DESGIN style, they would be awsome. The LEE OSKARS, have a better GRITTER,GRINDING TONE....but lack in durability with the BLOW reeds 4-6 holes and alway's have trouble, going out. There high notes 7-10, just sound off key compared to SPEACIL 20's. BUT the draw notes 1-5 last much longer then speacil 20's. Which is good for the BLUES, since the low notes are what all the pros play alot. The only exception is that #2 hole, never works properlly compared to the SPEACIL 20. They need to get ride of the rein-forced reeds in # 2. Both of these brands will brake. You can always count on the blow notes on the LEE OSKAERS, going. And the Draw notes on the speacil 20s. TRUST ME , I played both for 3 years. IF EITHER ONE, last more then 3 months.....your not playin them 1 hour, everyday.

...and wonderful sound! It's my first, so I have no point of reference, but it sounded really smooth and great the first time I played it. Now I just have to learn how to really play it.
