Frequently Asked Questions
The Lee Oskar generally has a more focused and brighter tone, while the Special 20 leans towards a more mellow, breathy sound. It’s a matter of personal preference really.
While some prefer wood, the plastic comb is exceptionally durable and resistant to warping, maintaining tuning stability – a key advantage for gigging musicians.
While it’s a perfectly capable harmonica, a C or A key is often recommended for beginners due to their wider application in learning and playing along with music.
