They're also great for playing traditional Irish music as they put you at 
the same pitch as the fiddles instead of an octave above, as with the 
regular D.  Even better if in Paddy Richter tuning.  Best of all if it's a 
Special 20 low D.  Tell those guys at Hohner to keep 'em coming thick and 
fast, Fernando!
