Harmonica enthusiasts of Lemmy, what type is this one? (lemmy.eco.br)

My brother had been gifted it a long time ago, and I recently picked it up to see if I could play something cool.

There's a problem, however: most instructions online are type-specific, but I have no idea what type this one could be. It has absolutely no engraved information and is quite different — having 16 holes and a single reed plate, with 16 singular reeds that alternate up and down.

If there's no definite answer, what are some tips to overcome this type barrier and learn to play the harmonica?

Oh, actually, I had taken the cover plates off to see and show its interior. It is playable, but it's hard to figure the tuning — at least for me and my musician friend.

About the music, anything goes. It's for fun anyways, and thus I feel like trying to use this one I already own.

Thanks for the insights.
