Hohner 560/20 Special Low Harmonica, D Low Pitch Review

Regarding the Hohner "Special 20" line:
Sturdy construction, the reeds are generally strong and individual notes are clean enough at moderate to loud volumes. Overall it feels like an instrument, weighted and well-balanced, air-tight with a smooth plastic lip that I greatly prefer over other Hohner models. They come in a nice snap case, although I like the Lee Oscar cases better----

A brief comparison to Lee Oscar:
The tonal qualities of either are unique, but not negatively comparable. The Hohner "Special 20" is heavier, it feels solid by comparison. The Lee Oscar comb feels more pronounced and the holes more readily found when playing. The comb of the Hohner has a smoother movement to it. I would call them even and draw the deciding line over price and availability. It's usually easier to find Lee Oscars in unique keys, but the Hohner "Special 20" Low D---

Regarding the Hohner "Special 20" Low D:
I love the tone. This is subjective, but I prefer the low D when I play without accompaniment in a standard tuning. By itself, it sounds great, soothing by comparison. The reeds move slower and respond differently to air force, they will stick on the low end if too much force is applied. This means a different (mindful) energy has to be used when playing; less agility, but larger, lower sounds.

Product Description:
Hohner 560/20 Special Low Harmonica, D Low Pitch: The Hohner 560 Special 20 Low Tune means that it offers one lower octave than standard-tuned harmonicas in the same key. The Special 20 is the go-to harp for harmonica players of any style, including blues, country, folk, or rock. The Special 20 delivers the coveted Marine Band sound and offers the benefits of its plastic comb: it doesn't absorb moisture so it won't swell, shrink, or crack; it lasts longer and is more airtight than wood combs that can become swollen, twisted, and warped; airtight construction provides increased responsiveness; plastic provides comfort and it's smoother on the lips, preventing chafing. Another plus of the Hohner 560 Special 20 is that the harmonica's reed plates are recessed into the comb. This keeps the 2 sharp edges of the brass reed plates from harming your lips.
