Frequently Asked Questions
The Marine Band has a more traditional, 'open' tone with less emphasis on easy bending; the Special 20 is more modern and geared towards easier manipulation.
Pearwood is susceptible to humidity changes, but the double lacquering helps mitigate warping; proper storage is still recommended.
The reeds require a bit more practice to bend compared to some modern harmonicas, but the effort is rewarded with that authentic Marine Band sound.
