Re: [Harp-L] Special 20s "built in obsolescence"

I don't have any particular problem with the current iteration of the 
Hohner Special 20's.  Surprisingly I find myself agreeing with BBQ Bob 
on this one.  It's likely an issue of technique and perhaps the the Lee 
Oskar product is better suited to your style of playing.  I think that 
screws don't hold as well as rivets but neither one does well at holding 
the reed in the slot if you drop the harmonica on its side.  Tightening 
slot tolerances is the instigator in this area, not screws or rivets.  fjm
