Frequently Asked Questions
The Penta Harp uses a pentatonic scale, restricting its tonal range, while the Special 20 is a full diatonic scale harmonica.
It's a trade-off; the plastic comb is very consistent and airtight, but it doesn't offer the same nuanced warmth as a wooden comb would.
No, the pentatonic scale limits melodic possibilities; experienced players will likely prefer a full diatonic harmonica.
