Re: [Harp-L] strange OverBlow

That's not an overblow. You've managed to slightly depress the pitch of the Blow E in Hole 5.

If it were an overblow, the E note would stop completely and a new, higher note would pop into being. This note would most likely be an F#, but could also be one or two semitones higher (G or maybe G#) depending on how your shape your mouth.

I am sure that I blow hole 5, it's note E the first note before
overblow... well I don't know whether it's an overblow or not, but I
the pitch is half way decrease.
I've successfully recorded it, please see at the ending (around
00:12-00:14), I think it's Eb.
