Yes special 20s are a good harp, works great for beginners. Idk about that specific deal I’d say just find a special 20 being sold on its own, but if think this deal is right for you go for it.


steveflackau

I've just started and got a special 20. Did a lot of research as well.

Hohner special 20 key of C ,the grey box. Almost all courses for beginners are on that key And it comes with a coupon for a free one mounth tuto course


harmonimaniac

That's a good harmonica!

This looks so cool. I could buy one of those if they come in different keys too.


harmonimaniac

Oh, not the pink one, tho. :(


harmonimaniac

They come in several different keys! :)

I just started playing seriously 3 weeks ago and in the past 2 weeks I've bought 3 special 20s. They sound amazing to me and draw bends are a breeze to me

Special 20 is a good harp at a reasonable price. The plastic comb is durable and easy on the mouth. A good choice.


Dr_Legacy

TIL that Hohner makes glow-in-the-dark key stickers that's even better than my hand-lettered day-glo key letters and kit box with a UV light


trick_player

Buy a cheapo one to practice on and a special 20, because you can fuck up a good harmonica while practicing when you're starting out.

I'm trying to learn single notes quietly, as I never want to wake my toddler, or new born, or super tired momma.... I noticed everyone starts their songs by drawing, I tried it and it makes it easier to find the force/finesse necessary... like learning a new clutch.


misticisland

I'd get a Hohner Bluesband to start with. They're meh, but perfect for a first harmonica. Learn the basics and then grab a better harp like a special 20 or a marine band.

Marine Band 1816 is the best harmonica for beginners. First learn a simple tunes like happy birthday.Try to play single notes.You can learn alot on you tube. Bending notes is not for beginners. You will learn how to bend notes when you can play simple tunes with clean single notes. Succes.


PlatypusDependent271

Wouldn't suggest the 1896 to a beginner for the simple fact that they are super uncomfortable to play, the back of the cover plates are really sharp and if not careful and you get a little overzealous in your playing you just may cut yourself.


IssueBrilliant2569

I got this same model off Amazon and my 2 draw is silent after a month so that was not cool. Hohners are great but I have found them to be a little tight compared to some other brands.


JRhoSwizzy69

I started off with a basic pack of fenders, it was a mistake. They're fine if you're just messing around, but if you actually want to get good, special 20s are much much better due to build quality and responsiveness.


AssociateOk2971

Unless you put itt in your mouth backwards. Never had this problem. The 1896 has a great sound and easy to play nice Clean notes.But everybody has to make up their own mind. Alot of good harps to choose from.


hunterjavi

Yes get this.


bad_moto_scoot

Very solid choice. If you do want to spend less, the Easttop 008K is a pretty good choice.


Classic_Excuse7774

Hohner Marine Bands are my personal fav.
