Beginner needs help
Although I've been a blues harp fan for over 20 years I was content to listen
and play guitar. However, a recent hand injury put a temporary stop to my
guitar playing so I bought a Special 20 (C) and the only harp book which the
store carried. I've progressed through the introductory section and can now
play a few things using 2/3 note chords.
When I started working on single notes a few days ago I ran into a problem - I
can't get a good note on draw 7. If I block the adjacent holes with my
fingers I have no trouble but if I put my lips to the harp I find the draw 7
note very hard to start. It seems to be very dependent on harp position and
attack. All other draw notes sound fine. I've read a bit about reed
adjustment on this list so am wondering if some tweaking is in order. Before
I run the risk of damaging my investment I would appreciate any advice which
experienced harp players would be willing to offer.
Thanks,
Clint
