Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The special 20 harp has a thinner vertical profile than the hohner blues harp or the lee oscar. It goes deeper into my mouth for better bending ability and tone. Notes seem clearer and have a more robust tone.

The special 20 is chrome the way a good harmonica should be. This harmonica has a great ergonomic design. The tough notes like the 2 draw are still difficult for beginners, but less difficult than with other harmonicas.



Cons

Compared to my hohner marine band models, this model is disappointing. It sound rinky * and cheap compared to the marine band model. Two of the upper register notes are slightly flat, so some of the chords in the lower register are harsh and dissonant...  Read More

This harmonica has a nice rich tone - and the worst intonation problem i've ever had with a harmonica. This is particularly ironic since it came with an marketing booklet talking about how every one of their harmonicas is hand tuned by a master crafts...  Read More

Quality


Overall i'm very happy with the harp.


Thank you for such a quality product.


If you are buying a harmonica for a kid that will never use it maybe go with the swan, but if you want a nicer harmonica, don’t skimp!


I usually start an endeavor with mid range spending because i will not be an expert but want a quality product.

Price


Every thing was good well built instrument bought it cause i wanted to upgrade, price was excellent delivered on time, package ...  Read More


Personally, i think the prices are 20% too high.

Competitiveness


They've been in the business for a long time and make great harmonicas at a reasonable price.


I’m not a professional player, but it sounds much better than the lower priced one i had been using.


But it’s a well-made instrument with a good sound.


If you play harp a lot and really get after it…they foul up after some time.

    The tiny bolt is almost impossible to work with at least with my gorilla hands


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Note that the bigger holes also mean that more junk and saliva can get in them so i recommend rinsing your mouth with at least water before playing and tapping the harmonica out and letting it dry before returning it to its box to keep the reeds from getting stuck
