Whatever else you do, be sure that you buy a new one. Otherwise - the main choice is between keys or buttons. The button Soprano is a classic (though I prefer the Alto for the fat bottom end) & there are several models of keyed soprano to choose from, including the new Jubilee & Fire models. See Hohner's page HERE for more.

Shame the Hohner Donique remains just a dream!
