What is the best low end harmonica?

Question:The Marine Band and the Blues Harp are not low end. Try the Blue Steel from Bushman. They are identical to the harmonicas sold by other companies at a higher price. They won't last long, but they actually sound good for about 50 hours. Harmonicas are made in about seven factories in the world. The Chinese are the cheapest and the least durable by far. If there is a danger of playing for one day and losing interest, go with them. Otherwise get a Hohner Special 20 in C, or a Lee Oskar in C. Harmonicas play for about 10 cents an hour.
