Is this a Hohner "BLUES BAND"?  I think it only comes in C and is from
China.  It's sub $5 USD and not recommendable for any serious playing. 
Sorry if it's not.

On the A Hot Metal, others can chime in, but I think it's the modular one
that can be taken apart easily (2 screws) and maybe poke at the reeds to
adjust action or dislodge something.  Seems like this question is a
recurrent theme on this list - FAQ anyone?   In the mean time, check tthe
archives :)
