clean pucker

[Tan Cheng Ann <BA2319140@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

how about this? i am answering my own question...
i finally managed to get a clean pucker. followed some tips by Kim (Hansen).
that plus something i dscovered.....to get a clean stream of air right
into the holes, minus the leakage and stray air, a good embochure is needed,
yes...but i found out that the true trick came when i rolled my tongue into
a U-shape (aided by pressing both sides of my mouth together). the shape
forms a channel for a narrow stream of air, that gave me a very clean single
note and nice tone.  i realized that i needed to blow/draw in a relaxed
manner too and not too hard (if not, air would leak again). I don't know
why how all these suddenly came together and i got a clean pucker....
perhaps all thsoe nea tricks and advices that i learnt from you great folks
get imbedded in the mind and suddenly i cleard some constrction in my cerebrum
...and eureka! boy...learning the harp is really exciting!
