Harmonica

I'm interested in learning the harmonica, and am getting one for my birthday, just wondering what would be the one to get? I want the best one out there, money is not an option, i've been playing my friend's for a couple months now, and love it

I've got one somewhere...I screwed around w/ it. Figured out how to bend pitches, and then set it down and haven't picked it up since.

Same here, I got two nice books as well

I think you meant money is no object. However if you meant option then stealing is a good alternative.

I love harmonica. The only songs I can play are The Wizard by Black Sabbath, Heart of Gold by Neil Young, and All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan.

Just get a Marine Band. The blues shouldn't cost more than $20 son.
