Is the Special 20 a Marine Band with a plastic comb or is it also a  
different beast?

Is there a Hohner model that is a Marine Band without the wooden comb  
or do I have to go custom?

I stopped playing Hohners years ago when quality control was awful.  
The Lee Oskars were just a superior instrument meaning louder, better  
set up, more consistent, with better longevity. I've been leery of  
switching because I have something that works. Think I might try a  
couple just for curiosity sake.
