Reviews around tone (5.00 of 5)

  • The tone is clear and certainly darker than a Marine Band
  • Chords sound beautiful, the tone is great, bending is as easy as it is on a Lee Oskar, and overblows are performed much easier on the Special 20 than a LO
  • I really like this set of Special 20's; it's fairly easy to learn how to get a good tone from them.
  • I love the tone,the durability of the reeds,the full clear range of these fine instruments

Reviews around tune (5.00 of 5)

  • Chords are nice and full, and the tuning seems very accurate
  • Looks to me like they were tuned with a hand file, and not a rotary tool or a draw-scraper
  • Well padded nice material protects my well loved fine tuned harps

Reviews around hohner (5.00 of 5)

  • and I prefer Hohner and Sydel as reliable brands
  • Top quality Hohner harmonicas
  • Since Hohner has a reputation for quality products I am wondering if cheap knockoffs have made their way into Amazon

Reviews around special (5.00 of 5)

  • If you do some looking and know harmonica, The 'Progressive' Special 20 is not as advertised in the picture and description
  • Hohner has reepalced the original CLASSIC SPECIAL 20 MARINE BAND HARMONICA WITH THE "HOHNER PROGRESSIVE SPECIAL 20
  • These are, indeed, the new "Progressive" Special 20's, not NOS ones from before that change.3

  • Chords sound beautiful, the tone is great, bending is as easy as it is on a Lee Oskar, and overblows are performed much easier on the Special 20 than a LO

Reviews around case (4.66 of 5)

  • The case is crap, mainly because it leaves little fibers on your harps.
  • The only negative is that, while the case looks good, it appears to be styrofoam covered with ballistic fabric
  • I always need new harmonicas, the case is quite nice too, the only issue is that they throw in an E instead of an F, E is simply not that common a key for most blues, no biggee, I'll buy another F separately, still a great price.
  • The case is pretty good, although it is a bit cheap, and made in China
  • The case is very nice and the special 20 is tons of fun to play.

Reviews around price (4.56 of 5)

  • I always need new harmonicas, the case is quite nice too, the only issue is that they throw in an E instead of an F, E is simply not that common a key for most blues, no biggee, I'll buy another F separately, still a great price.
  • Lastly, the price of this set was a steal
  • I got it really at a great low price, is that why 3 harmonicas had flaws
  • I just purchased a three pack of Hohner 530 Blues harmonicas for a great price - they are the REAL deal
  • Again I got it at a fantastic price, I got what I paid for it.

Reviews around deal (4.40 of 5)

  • I snagged this deal from Amazon when they were at $106 the week before Christmas
  • This deal is good and the harmonicas arrived in a zippered case in 2 days after placing the order
  • When you decide to add to your collection, the Case of 5 Special 20 Harmonicas is a great deal, and will give you plenty of Keys to be able to jam in.
  • Two things, however: a) at $106, even if you never play the E, you are still getting a good deal for the four remaining harps
  • This is the best deal we have found anywhere on the internet to get the 5 most commonly used keys in one bundle

Reviews around set (4.21 of 5)

  • I wanted consistency, and this was the least expensive set that all the reviews seemed to feel had that
  • Hohner Special Twenty Harmonicas,and to have the perfect set of 5(minus the F) at this price was a great offer
  • The set is excellent, all Hohner Special 20's, each couched in the carrying case.
  • The case (which is pretty nice) has two extra slots, so I don't see why Hohner can't just throw Bb and F in there like they do on some of the cheaper sets
  • This is a really nice set right out of the box and they all have that very crisp harmonica sound that I like so much.

Reviews around harmonica (4.20 of 5)

  • I got it really at a great low price, is that why 3 harmonicas had flaws
  • These harmonicas are of much lower quality than the Special 20 Marine Bands and not recommended
  • BUT FOR THE HONER CLASSIC SPECIAL 20 MARINE BAND HARMONICA
  • They aren't keys you'll really be using much so this set is perfect to get yourself started,Don't start by buying the cheap harmonicas first because you'll learn to play on sub-par harmonicas and will need to adjust to the Special 20's at some point
  • These harmonica have great reputation and I believe they are great harmonicas.

Reviews around sound (4.10 of 5)

  • I wanted to replace my previous harmonicas with a new set to play with our band and progressive 20 are a mid-range good option for their awesome bending and warm dark sound
  • By comparison, the Suzuki Bluesmaster is great sounding too, but smoother sounding
  • I wanted to replace my previous harmonicas with a new set to play with our band and progressive 20 are a mid-range good option for their awesome bending and warm dark sound
  • 3 of the 5 harmonica had one or 2 notes which did not play, just sucking sound.
  • The sound was off key and the effort to make a decent sound in any key was tough to stay motivated
