Are these Special 20's made in Germany or are they from China? I saw one seller ships from China, and I was somewhat concerned.

They are stamped made in Germany. The case reads made in China. So far I have had no problems with these harmonicas .Easy to play,sound good, price was right.

They should be made in Germany. The set I purchased was from a vendor in the states and was sealed. Now the carrying case was from China but the harmonicas are stamped ' made in Germany' . I too would be concerned.

I don't know where they're made. they have no markings. i customize all my harps when they are new and they was in tune but large gappings. Out of the box where they playable but not good and like all Hohner harps i bought recently i can notice the quality is poor compared to those Hohners i bought some years ago and still playing. i believe they have changed something in the reeds because they feel really cheap when you work on them.

There are no markings on them to indicate they are from China except for the case they came in. My first order of the 20's had 3 defective, the re-order had 4 defective, that is holes that either didn't work or partially sounded and not necessarily in tune. I tried contacting a host of people to find if these 20's were China produced or some after market scam. I assumed the great Hohner German workmanship would not have such lax quality control. The best I got was to ship the defective harps to American techs ( my cost) where they would repair and ship back to me at their cost. Quite unsettling for a former trusted product, it should carry a buyer beware rider. Maybe buy them where you can try them, then you can do the return right at the purchase source. Hope this helps, Bruce

The ones I got from the seller I used are stamped Germany and appear to be the same quality as the 40 year old ones that still sounded good until they disappeared in a fire a while back.

i have found them from the USA, Japan and China. Look on the back of the package, they are all labeled with country of origin. The ones from China came from Dicks sporting goods store and didn't work AT ALL! I returned them. The others were purchased on line and worked fine.

People have claimed that these are made in Germany, but they do not say that on the rings or on the packaging. It is a German company and it says so on the package, but it does NOT say "made in Germany" anywhere on it. They could be made in China or anywhere else, as they do not specify where they are actually made. However, they are very good quality, just what you would expect for being made in Germany.

They are hand made in China. Where else did you think that they were made? My wife absolutely loves them.

I don't remember where they came from. I know it didn't take any time at all for me to receive them so I am guessing they are NOT from China. My girls LOVE them so I would recommend them. Hope this helps!

They are made in China; seems everything is these days. I thought they were made here in the US, but after literally searching the package, I found they were from China.

Hi, I am not sure. I looked to buy the ones made in Germany, so probably it was but I am not positive. Sorry.

I don't have them in front of me, but I think they are made in Japan. They are a great pair of bino's for the price.

I believe they are from Germany. They were a gift for my son, so I don't have the boxes or anything, but that's what he thinks.

They are not fake but they are probably made in China. I threw away the box where it said. You can tell by the price that they where not made in Germany. The left earphone speaker died on me less than a year after purchase. So now they are worthless.

Alas, unfortunately, they are. I have a set and I really like them. Just checked under a cup to check for your question, and they are clearly marked "made in China." It's a shame. :(

It's from a Japanese company. Though they do get mailed from China, they are I believe made in Japan.

I assume they did. The tag on it says"Made in China"also I checked my old ones todayThey were made in Italy as you mentioned. They sure charged md the same price. I am about to go to YouTube on this one and show both boots, I am very upset, Thanks for asking the question. The other sad part id that they have not seemed to care about my concern . Who are these people ?
