[Harp-L] Summing Up the Advice

[Rooty Baegga <rootybaegga@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to make sure I understand all the advice given me, so please correct 
me if I go wrong:

If I want to blat like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, or honk some blues like 
Sonny Terry or Charlie Musselwhite, then a diatonic is for me.  If a 
diatonic is for me, a $20 Horner Special 20 or a Golden Melody, both in C, 
are the best with which to start.

If I am more interested in playing melodies, which may or may not include 
jazz or Peg O' My Heart, and if I don't want to spend time looking for 
notes that aren't there, then a chromatic is the better choice.

Having weighed all this advice carefully, as well as my musical 
preferences, I believe I should move into the chromatic world.  Which is a 
shame, because diatonic had price on its side.

Therefore, what are the recommendations for chromatic harmonicas for a newbie?

Putting the cart before the horse: I have already decided which song I wish 
to master on harmonica and I don't even have a harmonica yet.  Is that the 
official definition of hubris?
