I am searching a new A harmonica for buying it because during my level of achievement #1 I used a C harmonica. It is instructed to buy an A harmonica in 2nd position, but I do not understant what does it mean by 2nd position. How can I know if the harmonica I am buying is in 2nd position? I want to buy this harmonica https://veerkamponline.com/products/hohner-armonica-diatonica-la-m533106... (sorry because the site is in Spanish, but I am from Mexico). I am sure it is an A harmonica, but how can I know if it is in the 2nd position?

Hello roogar, welcome to the

Hello roogar, welcome to the site, and to playing the harmonica. Ignore "2nd Position," you just need an A Harmonica. The Blues Harp in A that you link to is just fine, it will work well for you.
