Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica In Key High G

Recessed reed plates set the Special 20 apart from traditional diatonic harmonicas, creating a projecting plastic mouthpiece that's more comfortable during extended playing sessions. This revolutionary design from Hohner became the most copied harmonica configuration worldwide for good reason. Tuned to High G, this diatonic harp delivers a mellow, warm tone that sits equally well in folk, country, rock, and pop contexts. The plastic comb resists climate variations that cause wooden combs to swell or crack, maintaining consistent performance whether you're playing outdoors in summer or in air–conditioned venues.

The cover plates feature small back openings specifically designed to accentuate the Special 20's warm sonic character. TORX screws hold the assembly together, providing superior stability compared to Phillips–head designs while making reed plate maintenance and tuning adjustments more straightforward. The durable plastic construction handles the temperature and humidity swings that Australian players encounter without the warping issues common to timber or composite materials. A practical snapcase protects the instrument between sessions. The High G tuning sits a fourth above standard C, offering a brighter tonal range that cuts through ensemble playing and works particularly well for melody lines in higher registers.
