Hi everybody,
first of all, I'd like to say hello. I'm kind of a newbie, although
I've been lurking here for a while.
As far as harping is concerned, I'm a beginner, and my chops are
_very_ limited. However, I'm able to get a full chromatic scale out of
most diatonics (except the A, where I can't get a clean overblow on
blow 1). I need this, too, since I want to play jazz. Only in the
upper register (the top 4 holes) I miss quite a lot of notes.
Referring to a C harp, I can't get:
o D flat (bend on draw 8)
o E flat (bend on draw 9)
o B (half-tone bend on draw 10, I get the B flat)
Seems my problems are in bending drawn reeds; however, does anybody
have any special advice on those notes?
Thanks in advance,
Bjoern
