Buy this set. It gives you quality diatonic harps in the four most commonly used keys, G, A, C, D, and E. The case has 2 more spots for 10-hole diatonic harps. If you stick with playing, you will probably have a good idea what keys you'd want to add, as you can afford them. The "Marine Band" is the most widely used diatonic harp.
You don't need a chromatic at first, and might never need one unless you have a need for the "Stevie Wonder" sort of sound. Chromatics are very expensive. You only need one though, as they are all in key of C. The smallest and cheapest I would go on a chromatic is a HOHNER CHROMETTA 12, which is going to cost you around $100.00 any where you go.

There are several different types of harmincas that you will run across when choosing a harmonica. The most common are diatonic harmonicas and chromatic harmonicas. Between the two, the diatonic harmonica is the one you're probably most familiar with. This harmonica, or harp, is known as the blues harp and is the first type of harmonica most players will purchase.
If you don't know anything about music, you'll need some basic information to understand what this article will tell you. In basic, there's a musical scale, with note pitches assigned names. The pitch names are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. When you reach G, the next note is an A and the scale repeats. This is because of the structure of sound. Pitches, or notes, are actually representations that we've chosen for the frequency that the pitch vibrates at. This is getting a little out of context of the article, but just understand that every time the frequency doubles, the scale starts over. That's why we have the scale.
In addition to the notes A, B, C, D, E, F and G, the natural notes, we also have what is called accidental notes. They're denoted by the sharp (#) or flat (b) sign in musical notation. These notes are half way between any of the given natural notes. They're notated by adding the sharp or flat sign after the note name - e.g. A#, B#, C#, etc. If you play notes in sequence in the order that I've presented above (A, B, C, D, E, F, G), you're playing what's called a scale. Each note has it's own scale. In order to make the scale sound correct to our ears, some of the pitches have to be raised by a sharp or a flat. So, the scale for A is: A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A. When these notes are played in sequence, one after another, you're hearing the correct A Major Scale.
The diatonic harp gets it's name from the fact that each key harmonica that you have only has notes from the scale for that key. So, for the C harmonica, the notes on the harp are C, D, E, F, G, A and B. For A, it would be A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, etc. So, for each key you have a different harmonica. The reason there are multiple keys for these harmonicas is the note selection cannot be changed once the harmonica has been made. Other instruments, such as the guitar or piano, can change keys at will, and the harp player needs to be able to play in the correct key with the rest of the band.
Beginners usually start with a C harp. This is because most of the instructional material you will find is in the key of C, and also because once you've mastered bending notes, it's possible to play a wider range of notes with this harmonica. You can begin to buy other harmonicas once you've gotten the C, but you'll want that one first, as you'll learn faster and be able to do more with a C diatonic harmonica. Hohner harmonicas are some of the most popular and you can start by looking at what they have to offer.
About Me: I've been playing music since I was four years old. I started with the classical piano, later picking up the guitar, sax, trumpet, just to name a few. I've probably played everything that you'd find at your local music store. With the internet getting so much more traffic and producing so many sales each year, people are undoubtedly buying their instruments and equipment there. Nothing is going to replace a trip to the music store to check out the piece you're after, but better priced deals are abound on the 'net, so it's natural that sales will occur there. For some, there's no testing because either there's no store, the store doesn't stock the item, or they're not the musician who's receiving what's being purchased. I've spent time writing musical instrument reviews for such situations and also to help those who have played the piece but still haven't been able to decide. Get all the information you can, and don't feel rushed. You or the person you're buying for is the one that's going to enjoy or regret your decision, so make it an informed one!
