Use the Suzuki Airwave - it was designed for beginners. It also overblows; I watched Jay Gaunt do it at SPAH a few weeks ago.
I am of course joking about my suggestion, but it does really overblow and it is designed for beginners :)

How are those Hammonds? They look really cool, but I've never heard one before.

I have tried 5 different harps since my start with the instrument:
Hohner Special 20
Hohner Pro Harp
Suzuki Firebreath
Hohner Marine Band
Suzuki Manji
Lee Oscar diatonic
The Lee Oskar went out of tune within 30 days, and to me was a complete waste of money. I'd never buy another one again.
The Firebreath is a great harp but has an extremely mellow tone.
The Marine band I like for the sound, but not the way it feels when in my mouth.
The Pro Harp - jury is still out because I blew a reed, but would like to try it again.
The Special 20's are what i started with, but are just not durable in the long run.
Suzuki Manji - I have 6 of them, and for sound, feel and durability are the best value for the money out of those harps I have owned.
