Back in the 80s, I was devoted to the Special 20. I had stepped away from harp for many years, but when I came back I found hohners to be less reliable out of the box, then some other brands.. but stepped away to peruse a career as a bassist, as it paid the bills.. I came back to the instrument about six years ago, initially I was hesitant to come back to Hohners, then I saw a review done by Ronnie Shellist regarding the Rocket Low, and my interest was peaked - so I ordered one and was deeply impressed! Super responsive, and no reed rattle! So I bought some Rocket Pros and wow! Super reactive, particularly compared to the Manjis I had been playing! And the Hohner reeds... no other reed sounds like that! I dig theses harps so much, I now use them as my main diatonic harmonicas!
