Title pretty much covers it.  What's a good entry level harmonica to start learning on?  Price range? i had a cheap one when I was a kid, then played trumpet, baritone, and tuba in high school.  After having surgery in November, I find myself with some extra time on my hands, and I'm thinking midi might be a decent way to fill some of it.

Any 10-hole Honer will do. Probably want a 'C' for your first. Marine Band is great. No need to spend more money than that.

But first, check out Adam Gussow on youtube. Adam will answer all your questions and teach you to play like a boss. Just start with lesson #1 and follow your feet.

I'd stick with something in the $30-35 range, like the Hohner Marine Band, Hohner Special 20, Suzuki Bluesmaster, Bushman Delta Frost, or one of the Lee Oskar offerings.
