Hi,

I didn't see any answers yet so...

I have had much better luck with Lee Oskar's. They cost a little more but
they last a lot longer. I have not had good luck with Hohner's as far as
durability goes.

I can only guess all of the above plus advanced technique. I've read he
plays Hohner Special 20's.
