: : Go to the Biginners: start here page or the faqs, there's info on what to buy all over this site. Try a Lee Oscar in C, it's one of the best around. Stay away from wood harmonicas.
: : good luck
: I picked up a Lee Oskar in C and like it a lot. Unfortunately now I'm positive it was me that sounded bad and not my old harmonica. Oh well, practice, practice, practice. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the club. It's always annoyed me that a lot of instructional books and web sites make it sound like anybody can be a great harmonica player in 30 minutes. After years of playing sports, doing karate, and playing other instruments, I think harmonica is very difficult to learn amd especially to master.
As you've probably already discovered, there's nothing like the harmonica. To quote a great aspiring new player on the secret to becoming better, "practice, practice, practice".
Good luck,
Bill
