For me, this is the standard. Get the Key of G to play Sugar Mountain and Heart of Gold. Get a key of C to play Helpless. Now you are set!

I've been playing since I was a kid and like these best. I've tried many brands and materials. I,along with many friends and pro players,prefer these to any other.

The same German made quality that Hohner has delivered for many decades. This is the same model I played as a teen 30 years ago. It is fun, clear, and crisp. I did try a few knock-offs, and they did not last, nor deliver that crisp, clean, and loud sound that Hohner is famous for. Until these are out-sourced to china along with the rest of products sold in the US, they should continue to deliver quality sound. If they are good enough for Bob Dylan, they are good enough for any of us!
