Welcome to the site Filippo.

Welcome to the site Filippo. I use the A Harmonica for all of my beginning studies, so you want to purchase an A Harmonica. I recommend the Hohner Crossover, but pretty much any model over the $40 price range will work well for you. Best wishes on your studies.

Hello petermeriva. A well setup harmonica is easier to bend than one that is not. The Hohner Crossover tends to be the best harmonica out of the box for bending in my experience.

Welcome to the site. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it is found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson if you decide to continue you will need to pick up an A Harmonica. Best wishes on your studies.
