Hello renato. The Hohner

Hello renato. The Hohner Marine Band Deluxe is more consistently a better harmonica out of the box. I recommend the Deluxe.

Hello renato. In my opinion,

Hello renato. In my opinion, the Special 20 is not as good as the Marine Band Deluxe. With that said, the Special 20 is one of the all-time standards of the harmonica world. For a less-expensive harmonica, it's a real good one... quite a few pros use it.
