RE: [Harp-L] Way into your mouth?

["Harmonica Jervis" <harmonica@xxxxxxxxx>]

I find the "tilted embouchure" (as promoted by David Barrett and others)
extremely useful for single notes, beautiful tone (and lubrication!). You
play a single note using the natural curve in your lower lip, without hardly
any pressure needed. Your upper lip is just resting far up on the upper
coverplate, and it really feels like the harp is "way into your mouth".

I've read this quite often, but there's no way I could do that and play 
single note except with tongue blocking. I assume that it is an exaggeration

to get the point across, or is there some other secret?

Peace and music,
Dave
