After searching the internet it was recommended by a vast majority of sources to use a key of c harmonica.  In fact Horne made ha recommendatio.   The class is taught in the key of A.  What up?  Do I have to buy a second harmonica just to get started?

Welcome to the site Mirdav01.

Welcome to the site Mirdav01. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it's found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson, if you decide to continue, you'll need to pick up an A Harmonica (this C Harmonica study will keep you busy for 2-3 months, so there's no hurry). Best wishes on your studies.

Remember the home page when you start at your lessons. There's a video waiting to be watched. Don't just skip to the classes. Also the reasons why all the classes are in the key of Amaj, you can watch the second video on Sharon Barett's studies.
