I need help to Choosing the Right Harmonica for Beginners

Hi Kamya,
if you want to learn blues harmonica you can’t go wrong with a Hohner Special 20, this is well within your budget but it’s a top quality instrument used by tons of pro and semi-pro players. I suggest you buy one in the key of A. For blues you play using the draw (inhale) chord as your root chord or “home” chord, and on an A harp this chord is E, which is the most popular key for blues.
There are tons of online instruction options, David Barrett’s online school bluesharmonica.com is excellent.
Good luck and have fun!
Steve
