I think this a great concertina for the money.When it first came i had to take it apart three times.It had sticky felt pads and the buttons would get stuck inside,and two of the reeds buzzed,but once i fixed it it plays nice and i use it every single day.This instrument is alot of fun.

 "terrible, squared" 2010-02-08
By D. Borchert
The first concertina I recieved had sticky keys, so it was readily replaced, with a concertina with the exact same problem.

It has been 6 weeks and I'm still awaiting credit for the return.

 "Low D Harp -- Bottom Line Best of the Best" 2009-08-02
By Edward Balen (Bradenton, Florida)
I simply love my Low D harp. It goes well with my other low pitch harps. I've been playing the harmonica most of my life, but never dreamed I'd find a harp like this one.



I've been playing and owning harps most of my life, but never had more than one, and got serious about playing, until I moved down here to Florida. I started my arsenal down here with a really nice tremolo harp, my Weekender. I then started adding my diatonic harps. When I first started adding diatonic harps to my arsenal, my G harp was my lowest pitched harp.



After I built an arsenal of harps of the twelve basic keys, I then began to build from there. I added first a low F and a high G. I then discovered that Hohner and other companies make harps pitched below the low F.



I recently turned forty years old, and my parents bought me a low E XB-40 for my birthday. I then received a gift card for this website from a friend of mine, which I used to purchase my Low D harp. I received it in the mail today, and simply love it. I know that having the three lowest harps, low D, low E, and low F virtually completes my arsenal. My low D is my harp number twenty-six.



If you're into playing the harmonica as much as I am, and want to complete the low end of your arsenal, follow in my lead, and get your hands on a low D.

 "Less agility, but larger, lower sounds. " 2009-01-28
By Internet Person (RVA)
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.

 "Great Growler!" 2009-01-16
By Lucky's Geist
The low D sounds amazing. If the lowest harp you have is a G, then you need to check out one of the low harps. Special 20s are reliable out of the box and the tone of this harp is great for slow blues and awesome rhythm. There is one design issue with this harp. To get the low D, the reeds are longer and cut to be weighted heavier on the free end. When hitting the 1-draw, it is very easy to draw and have the reed contact the bottom cover plate. With a sharp attack on the one draw, you will hear a 'ping' sound. That's the reed hitting the cover plate. Lee Oskar harmonicas do not have this problem. The bottom cover plate on the lower Lee Oskar harps is deeper and the reed will not touch it. The only problem with that is that Lee Oskar does not make a Low D, only a Low F. In any case, this is well worth the money. Special 20s are solid harps with the Hohner reputation standing behind them.

 "Low F Harmonica -- Rich and Warm chords" 2007-10-25
By Edward Balen (Bradenton, Florida)
I love my Low F harmonica. I feel it complements the high G harmonica very well. The two are virtually the opposite extreme of each other.



I have sixteen harmonicas currently, with more in sight. I have all twelve diatonic key harmonicas. If you have the money, and a good case to store them in, I highly recommend acquiring a full set like mine.



The low F harmonica in its lowest register is rich and super warm. Blowing and drawing holes 1 through 3 on this instrument gives two warm rich chords. I compare the bottom F of this instrument to the bottom F of a concert accordion.

 "Great Sounding, but Easy to Blow Out Reeds" 2009-05-21
By Odin7 (Maryland, USA)
Hohners Special 20's are legendary for their sweet melodious sound and they do deliver on that. However, they appear unforgiving if overblown. The reeds will detune or fail. As a relative harp newbie, I realize my playing style (or lack of it) may well contribute to these failures. However, I have read about blown reeds on this brand and model of harp written by more experienced owners. For example: "My sole Special 20 seems to have blown a reed within the first two days of owning it (the 4 draw), so I can't say I'm impressed with this harp. I'm not that hard on these things and this is the only one of almost three dozen new harps to do this. I hope this isn't an example of the typical build quality. But that alone makes me shy of buying more." - http://www.ianchadwick.com/essays/harmonicas.htm

I really like the way they sound, but I have created a small "dead harp" pile of them in the corner of my room. Hohner does not offer replacement reed plates on this model. I am still looking for a set of good sounding, well made, inexpensive, durable harps. I may be dreaming the impossible dream.

 "Excellent gift for first-time harper" 2008-08-24
By Rebekah E. Rush (East Tennessee, USA)
My folksy boyfiend always talked about how he wanted to learn to play the harmonica, but he didn't have one. For his birthday, I surprised him with the Hohner Special 20 Harmonica, Key of G and the Hohner Special 20, Key of C, as well as a case and a harness. He loves them!

I decided on the Hohner Special 20 after some research. I read that they were a good harmonica for a first-time player; they were well made, but not so complicated that playing them would frustrate a first-timer. In two weeks, he has both of the harps broken in pretty well, and he can almost bend a reed.

I would definitely reccomend the Special 20 harps for a first-time player, or as a gift for a harp player!
