New harp on its way

I decided to order a new harp tonight. I wanted to try a Golden Melody because I have been wondering for a while if it may be easier to get a wah on a more air tight instrument. From the research I've done it looks like this harmonica could fit the bill. It takes my harmonica list to:

Big River: G, C, Bb
Lee Oscar: A
Blues Harp: E
Marine Band: D
Golden Melody: F

I know most of these are made by Hohner but the difference in tone and ease of playing makes them completely different instruments. I don't know if I just got a dud but I find the Marine band by far the hardest to play. If this Golden Melody works nicely, I may look to replace some of the others with this type.

I'm looking forward to finding out how it plays.
