…I would like to get the man a harmonica set for Christmas. Anyone reccomend anything? Brass reeds or plastic? Metal mouthpiece or plastic? And specific names to look for? He’s not a _serious_ player but I know he’d love a set because he also wants a digital music recorder or some sort to record his own stuff. Would something like this be ok?

If you are just buying 1 harp don’t bother on ebay, just go to Guitarcenter. They’ve got great prices and one of the best harps they sell only comes out to $30 anyways. Hohner makes some of the world’s best harmonicas and has a really bluesy tone. I have a Lee Oskar lying around somewhere ($30 @ guitarcenter). If you are getting only 1, get it in C. However a whole set would be awesome and you might be able to pick up sets for cheaper on ebay. ---

Yeah I deffinetly want to get him a whole set. So perhaps I should go with the first link I posted “Set of 7 Hohner “Piedmont Blues” Harmonicas with a Plush Lined Nylon Case!” …? $34.99 free shipping… ?? ---

You don’t need a digital “box” persay if he has a decent enough sound card. For the price and practicality, a software based recording studio (anything from Cakewalk) would be fine…I use Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro.
