    At the top of the list...
    Hohner Special 20.
    Next Hohner Marine Band Deluxe is worth the extra money for the screwed construction,
    or Hohner Marine Band for price.
    Don't waste your money on anything else. Find out what key he wants... the most useful being A, C, or D.

    Thanks guitarhappy - there appears to be 'Hohner Progressive Special 20 Harmonica' and 'Hohner Special' with various numbers (randomly - M560086X) - is it particularly the 'Special' rather than Progressive Special. He did ask for key of A previously but didn't get it.

    It's the model 560/20 Special 20. I think the progressive series is the same thing but a new marketing label for what everyone calls the Special 20. It has black plastic comb that doesn't swell and screwed in reed plates and cover plates. The traditional Marine Band is held together with little nails making it harder to repair. Wherever you get it just tell them Hohner Special 20 model 560.
