 OK, here's where I am getting confused. On the one hand we have tongue 
block players. These are guys who barely touch the harp to the lips and 
work their sounds off of the right (and left) side of their tongue tip. 
 Then there is the pucker player who purses their lips like sipping 
through a soda straw and directs the air to only the hole(s) they want.

 Sooo, how DOES one stick a harp DEEP in their mouth and play pucker 
style? OR, how DOES one place a harp deep in their mouth and play 
tongue block style? I'm sure glad I tossed all of mine in the trash 
yesterday, as the constant adjusting and re-adjusting embochure has 
already driven me crazy.
