Well, I'd go for an established brand, because there are lots of shit harmonicas out there. I'd say Hohner or Lee Oskar (Hohners are somewhat cheaper, around €20). So you just have to decide on the key then! |

The first harmonica I got was a Hohner 10 hole diatonic (C) for £20, I'd recommend those, just choose your key. |

If it's your first harmonica, I'd suggest a C harp; you can play straight harp (country-folk melodies) on it in C, blues harp in G and you can also play in D minor.<br />
If you're into blues harp only, you might want to look at a harp in the key of A: blues harp (or cross harp) key is E, which should definetely get your mojo working! |

After you learn to bend and overblow and overblow bend, you can play chromatically (as in every single note) on a standard harp. Get a C first just to learn all the moves, than if you find the lower notes easier to play, get a Bb or B or low F (lee oskar sells them but they require modifications), if you like the higher notes get a G or something. After you know the moves, its just matter of finding the one that feels best. |
