Hello sharlenereynolds
You'll be able to get a good cup on the harmonica using the standard hold... what I call "The Pinch" in this lesson: https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/cupping_hand_effects
With The Pinch, it's about crating the chamber, not encasing the entire harmonica.
Also take a look at https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/intro_lesson_1_18_harmonica_insights, Joe Filisko has a slightly modified version of that hold that you may like.
