Yup, I can do that one, but this is in the harp itself. It is very easy on 
2 draw (bent), I assume the greater difference in freq. between 3 
draw/blow is what makes this tougher. 

I was doing the snoring thing with a band one time, and the guitar/leader 
would grab his ear monitor like a bee was in there. He'd get the strangest 
look on his face, then say "did you hear that?"  I never did say anything 
when I figured out what the deal was, but I quit doing it!  I guess my 
lack of finesse on that technique was making a percussive sound that 
really messed with his head....
