HI Peeps,

Can anyone advise me where I can buy a harmonica and also it's stand that can use them around the neck?
As a beginner which key is more appropriate?
TIA!

Most commonly used key is C, so you may want 1 in C to be in tune with most youtube lessons.
I find C quite high, i prefer key of A, which in crossharp (2nd pos) = E , Just nice for blues and jam with Guitar which most tune to E
but i find Bb harps have a sweet sound to : )

Btw, i am not pro .. just like to dabble.

Thank you for pointing the way. I will go check it out . I didn't know anything about Harmonica until i did some reading to know there are different keys and such.
I basically would like to play while also playing the guitar and wondering which is a better key to get? I normal sing in D key , so would D key be a better option in this instant?

short simple answer
Diatonic harp, Key of D if like playing straight forward folk / pop songs ( 1st pos )
Diatonic harp, key of G if like playing blues ( 1st pos of Key of G = 2nd pos key of D )
Solo tuned in key of D if you like playing melodies in key of D ( no accidentals unless bent notes )
Chromatic harp, key of D if you like playing melodies / classical stuff in key of D and need all the accidentals

Longer answer
You need to google more : )
