Pros

Great sound just like the marine band. Feels great and comfortable on the mouth makes it easier for a beginner to truly produce sound. Try the lessons, they have them for all levels of players from beginner to advanced. Free 30-day lesson opportunity ... Read More

It has a thinner vertical profile than the hohner blues harp or the lee oscar and therefore goes deeper into my mouth for better bending ability and tone. One pain with both they use small bolts instead of screws to keep the metal covers in place. Ben... Read More

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.

Quality

Good solid sound, especially in the mid-range.

Just as described, sounds amazing, great quality perfect for beginners

They are over-vented, making them too hard to make bends reliably.

The noise i made in trying to learn scared my animals too much so i stopped.

Price

It was exactly what was wanted, fair price

Good value for a very good harp.

5 but for the price it's a 5.

A bit stiff in the upper range, but overall good for the money.

Shipping

It was delivered promptly also, good form!

Got down to the wire and i didn't think it was going to be shipped so i reqested a refund that was denied.

To my suprise it shipped and i did get it on the time that was estimated, the seller came through and the harmonica is perfect.

Packaging/appearance

First pic shows what came in the box.

Competitiveness

As far as other bb harmonicas i can compare it to a seydel 1847 it's a little easier to play as it can get out louder 3 hole no... Read More

I had a lee oscar harp in the same key so that i could compare the two.

They were almost identical, except that the s20 had a slightly brighter tone.
