Special 20 – key C – custom

Custom Harmonica Features

This brand new custom Special 20 harmonica features meticulously embossed reed slots, reducing the gap between the reed and the slot. This design focuses air directly on the reed, enhancing loudness and responsiveness. The draw reed plate flat-sanded for a perfectly flat seal, significantly improving air tightness. Additionally, all reeds are chamfered, increasing their aerodynamics, which contributes to a louder, more responsive sound.

The reeds are also gapped and set deeper into the slots, further boosting air tightness and responsiveness while preparing the harmonica for easy overblows on holes 4, 5, and 6 in particular!

We have added to the unique, beautifully mellow sound, based on a revolutionary concept: the Special 20 was the first diatonic harmonica in the world with reed plates recessed into the comb, creating a projecting plastic mouthpiece. This makes it more comfortable to play, and the most copied harmonica design worldwide. Its distinctive sound is perfect for everything from Folk and Country to Rock and Pop. This custom Special 20 offers everything a professional harpist needs, but it’s also the ideal beginner’s instrument thanks to its smooth playability and comparatively affordable price for a custom made harmonica by Harmonicas Ireland. If you’re not just looking for a companion for the first few steps, but one to take you all the way, this Special 20 is your best possible bet and comes packaged with discount voucher for it’s first service!
