The reason a Hohner turns up in the hands of blues players, buskers and session musicians is not nostalgia, it is that the reed plates are consistent from one instrument to the next and replacement parts stay available for models that have been in production for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes the Special 20 Different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reed plates sit inside the plastic comb rather than sandwiched on the outside.
