I had a book with mine. Taught me everything I know.

No really, I know nothing at all that's not in the book... shame it didn't come with basic multiplication tables

For starters you will have to start calling it a harp or else no one will take you seriously.

i have a honer special 20 blues harp in the key of C. its my second one after a really rubbish one i learnt on. I suggest you get a dylan tab book, or just try to figure out tunes yourself.

And yes, call it a mouth organ or a harp.

If you were at Primary school it would be called a mouth organ.
A more mature name would be harmonica.
If you play in a band its called a harp.
