Frequently Asked Questions
The Lee Oskar tends to have a more focused, cleaner tone with better intonation, whereas the Special 20 often has a rawer, more 'vintage' sound.
The brass comb is generally well-sealed, but like all wood or brass combs, it will benefit from occasional cleaning and oiling to prevent drying and maintain airtightness.
Richter tuning is standard and relatively straightforward, but mastering bending and cross-harp playing takes practice. This harmonica will certainly help you get there.
