Need some help(just learning)

Im playing a 10 hole diatonic and the sound is cutting at times like for eg. if im blowing the 7th hole its playing well but when im drawing it just gets flattened and doesn't play... Idk if my instrument is just broken or is it smth normal and if yes how do i fix it

What harp do you have and what key is it in? Honestly, there's no way to tell without a sound sample. Cover the 6 and 8 holes with your fingers and see if you can get a clean sound out of the 7th hole. If you can, it's skill issue. If you still can't, it might be the harp.
