Pentaharp - only Hohner? And which key?

Hi David,
I have come across your videos regarding Pentaharp. It is interesting. Is it made exclusively by Hohner? If I want to explore the capabilities of Pentaharp which key you would recommend to purchase?
On a side note, I understand that whatever you can play on Pentaharp, you can play on a regular diatonic harmonica. Pentaharp is just easier to start jamming as fast as you can get a note out of a harmonica ...
Thanks!

Hello MG.
Yes, it's made exclusively by Hohner.
The lesson on the site I use the C, so that's the key I recommend yo pick up.
No, this is a new and unique tuning. Though embouchure and technique are the same, the movement/licks are not shared with the standard tuning of harmonica. I recommend you watch the entire lesson, I go through the pluses and minuses of this new model.
