They don't have reeds
A Harmonica has one reed for each hole it has. For example, a Diatonic Harmonica has ten holes, ten pitches, and thus ten reeds. Longer reeds have lower pitches. The reeds tend to be metal. If a reed bends, the corresponding pitch will not work.
AnswerThere are many types of harmonicas. I will describe to you how a diatonic harmonica works.A harmonica has a chambered body with each chamber containing 2 small metal reeds. The reeds are flipped in alignment from each other.As you blow into one of the chambers air passes over the first reed and causes it to vibrate and this vibration causes the sound you hear. As you draw air in through a chamber ("suck on a harmonica") the air passes through the chamber in reverse and causes the second reed to vibrate. because the reeds are aligned oppisately - the air direction will determine which reed vibrates.Harmonicas use a series of reeds lined up from longer to shorter. The shorter the reed - the higher the pitch of the note sounded.Some harmonicas use a wood body and some use plastic. There are also synthetic and metal reeds, which affects the pitch.

No, the air channels are the same size, it is the reeds which are in different sizes.
No. The Harmonica is a small instrument and is blown through, and the harp is a large instrument that is held between the legs and plucked. The other instrument that is played with mouth is the Jews Harp this is often confused with the Harmonica
You're either probably breathing incorrectly or playing too hard. Slow down and work on technique instead of power.
There are many advantages to owning a harmonica case. It protects your harmonica from harm, it keeps it clean from dust and grime that could build up if you left it out of a case, and it allows your harmonica to stay in tune.

Brass is soft enough to vibrate with an easy blow, but rigid enough to retain its shape. Also it can be made into thin sheets to keep the harmonica small. Stainless steel can be used also, because of this thinness and ability to retain its shape. Phosphor bronze also, but wears out faster. Woodwind type reeds would require a lot more space and material. Wood can be used and still is used for the body.
It has multiple, variably-tuned brass or bronze reeds which are secured at one end over an airway slot into which it can freely vibrate. The vibrating reeds repeatedly interrupt the airstream to produce sound. The player selects the notes by the placement of his or her mouth over the proper airways. These holes are usually made up of discrete holes in the front of the instrument. Each hole communicates with one or more reeds, depending on the type of harmonica. Because a reed mounted above a slot is made to vibrate more easily by air from above, reeds accessed by a mouthpiece hole often may be selected further by choice of breath direction (blowing, drawing). Some harmonicas, primarily the chromatic harmonica, also include a spring-loaded button-actuated slide that, when depressed, redirects the airflow.
