[Harp-L] Difficulty on the high end

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

 "I have no difficuty with the 2 draw but high end has been a
struggle."

Keep your mouth, lips, and jaw RELAXED, keep your jaw dropped and  
your throat open, like you are about to yawn, and produce all airflow/ 
air pressure FROM THE DIAPHRAGM.  Articulate separation between notes  
by starting and stopping your diaphragm, keeping mouth, jaw and  
tongue RELAXED and the throat/airway relaxed and OPEN. DO NOT tighten  
lips, jaw, or mouth.   Use an UNFOCUSED stream of air, not a narrow  
directed stream of air. Do this and the high end reeds will sing.   
Blow BENDING is different--I am talking about just just moving around  
on the high end getting good tone and response.  Try it.
