Hohner Special 20 Country Tuning Harmonica in the Key of A

Recessed reed plates set into the comb create a projecting plastic mouthpiece that makes this diatonic harmonica considerably more comfortable to play than traditional designs. The Hohner Special 20 Country Tuning in the key of A was the first diatonic harp to use this recessed plate construction, a design now widely imitated across the industry. Its unique approach produces a beautifully mellow tone that suits folk, country, rock and pop styles equally well. The resilient plastic comb delivers consistent performance across all climate conditions, while the compact snapcase provides practical protection between sessions.

The cover plates feature small rear openings that emphasise the warm tonal character this model is known for. TORX screws hold the assembly together, ensuring long-term stability while making maintenance and customisation straightforward when needed. Country tuning modifies the standard diatonic layout to better suit certain playing styles and repertoire, particularly in traditional and roots music contexts. The recessed reed plate design not only improves comfort but also contributes to the smooth playability that makes this harmonica accessible to players just starting out while offering the response and reliability that experienced harpists require for professional work.
