Tip for beginners from a beginner: Some people may complain that a few holes don't work, like the 2 or 7

In terms of ease of play, the plastic comb of the Special 20 slides easily, the holes are easy for a beginner to single out, and the sound is extremely nice particularly for folksy music such as Bob

I hear that sometimes some holes can sound a little strange on a new harmonica until you "break it

Covering up all the holes and blowing on #2, I get sound.

I can hear the air blowing through or around, but the holes seem clogged whether I'm blowing easy or hard and make a terrible sounding note (my family cringes and can tell I'm blowing that note when I try).
