Hello,

I'm just curious how far you guys manage to bend the 1 & 2 & 3 draw on these
low harps...
A couple years ago, I purchased all the low F, E, Eb, & D Golden Melodies
that I could find left on the market (very few of them, the low keyed GM
where not produced anymore for quite some time already).
I love the sound they give but I always found myself in trouble because I
can't seem to remember to avoid phrases that involve some of these bends.
Low F & Low E are bout OK but anything lower is a pb for me.

It does not matter whether I TB-bend or pucker-bend.
