Hohner Special Progressive 20 Harmonica, B Country

Full Description

Country tuning

This harmonica features country tuning, a modified version of the standard Richter tuning that elevates the fifth draw reed by one semitone. This raises the draw chord's pitch to a major seventh and replaces the dominant seventh of a standard Richter-tuned harmonica. Consequently, when played in second position, the instrument produces a major seventh scale. Country music players recognize its distinct sound, making it an excellent choice for those interested in the genre.

The Progressive Series is a collection of harmonicas that appeal to a wide range of musical styles. Beginners will appreciate the Special 20's clear tones and ease of play while the Rocket harmonicas are designed for more advanced players who desire maximum volume, thanks to their comfortable design and responsive reeds. The Golden Melody harmonica is the perfect choice for soloists who want to achieve a highly polished sound with perfectly tuned notes.
