  If you have harmonicas in the keys of A, Bb, C, D, Eb, F and G you  
  will be covered for 90-95% of the tunes that ordinarily get called.   
  Add the keys of E and Ab you will be covered for 98-99% of the tunes  
  called unless you are playing with jazz bands or horn bands.

  Personally, I only play Richter tuned harmonicas.  I use 5th position  
  to play minor keys.
