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

They have a great sound

By comparison, the Suzuki Bluesmaster is great sounding too, but smoother sounding

I decided on the Special 20 because I like the sound of it

My band (Black Valley Blues Band) uses these harmonicas exclusively and when we added another harmonica player, we needed to replace his harmonicas with the ones we use to keep a consistent sound

The sound was off key and the effort to make a decent sound in any key was tough to stay motivated

great sound and prompt shipment

Great sounding harmonicas

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.

I bought them when I first started playing harp and they improved my sound ten-fold

3 of the 5 harmonica had one or 2 notes which did not play, just sucking sound.

so I know a lil' about good quality sounds...
