    Can you play harmonica? Adivice, please

    My friends and I want to learn to play harmonica(for a performance in two months), but none of us has experience for it. So we decide to buy form the internet. After searching in the internet, we found that the prices are average 10$. Since we don’t need perfect and expensive ones, we can accept the price. However, we also found some harmonicas that are cheap in http://www.tmart.com/Harmonica-202grid/. We want to know that whether you guys ever buy goods form Tmart, and how is the quailty. Thanks!

    PS:

    I noticed that
    http://www.tmart.com/Swan-24-Holes-W...x_p131942.html this one is cool and it is 24 holes that we need. But it is expensive, what do you guys think of it?

    I played a little in the early days of Dylan and The Stones. Was never very good but found it fairly easy to play. Never found a lot of difference between models, but the purists might disagree.

    If you think that is expensive what about these?

    Hohner make harmonicas, I would term the Tmart ones mostly as kids mouth organs which only play in one key apart from the 2 sided and the 5 in one, I note that Tmart also stock chromatics which may be a better solution, although more expensive they are cheaper than Hohner.
    Cheers MIKE.

    Compared with the harmonica in bonnersmusic, Tmart's are cheap. It seems that the former is exquisite and professional, and what I want is just a common one for a perfomance, therefore I may choose Tmart's. Anyway, thank you for your information.

    I play a harmonica. The ones I always get are the Marching band ones
    by Hohner. They are easy to play and are very inexpensive. The last
    one I bought only cost me five bucks at the Cracker Barrel gift shop.
