[Harp-L] An Over-Blurring Of Over-Bends And Over-Blows



On A Hohner Marine-Band 365, in the key of c..., we find holes 11 through 14
giving us...
Hole 11 - e-blow b-draw
Hole 12 - g-blow d-draw
Hole 13 c-blow f-draw
And hole 14 - e-blow a-draw...

My question... When I blow-bend hole 11, I get... Consistently a c, which is
a half-step higher than the draw pitch. 
This would meet the requirements for the "over-blow' rule, but surely, this
isn't a true over-blow? 
I get the same results with holes 12 through 14 on this harp, that is, what
we would expect from an over-blow, a pitch a half-step higher than the draw.

If these are really over-blows..., do any other harps exist..., anywhere
within the known universe..., that would facilitate over-blowing as easy as
this? 
(Okay, but I had to ask...)
