The Hohner Progressive range features diatonic harmonicas in Richter and Country tunings, which are made in Germany. Their workmanship (airtight), playability and powerful sound allow you to develop your skills and move between musical styles - from expressive blues/rock genres with tone-bending techniques to jazz, country and pop. In particular, the Special 20 model is recommended as one of the best models suitable for complete beginners, and one that you won't put down even after years of practice. It's no wonder - for its warm, resonant sound and great playing qualities, it is favoured by many professional musicians, such as John Popper (Blues Traveler). It has a black body made of durable ABS composite material, stainless steel covers, twenty brass pickups and 0.9 mm thick brass plates.
