Here's my 2 cents. Buy yourself a half dozen or so of the more common 
keys in stock Marine Bands or Lee Oskars (my preference) or 
Seydels.You're a newbie. You're going to blow out reeds and experiment 
with what you like and don't like.Once you get past that phase, then 
move onto something that is customized to your taste and application. My 
personal philosophy with tools and musical instruments is to always buy 
the best "that you can afford". That is not at all the same thing as 
always buying "the best". That's just my opinion. I hope you have tons 
of fun in the process.
