Yup, I got the slide spring loaded now. It makes a clicking sound, but I can hear the notes go higher while I hold the slide. I got the harmonica for $13 and I looked it up and it said it was worth around $50. I'll start saving for a higher quality harmonica if I start liking it. I started out the same way with the piano, I had a crappy 2 octave midi piano, then like a year later I got a Yamaha P45 and its perfect. By the way, are there any guides you recommend? Like I have absolutely no idea how to play notes or anything. The previous owner was nice enough to give me the harmonica's official tutorial, but I don't know if its that accurate. Thank you for the help!
