Re: [Harp-L] overblow begginner question

["Michael Peloquin" <peloquinharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like Chris implied: all Hohner handmade harps can be hit or miss. I just 
taught a student how to OB and the GM I had him buy was terrible. I tweaked 
a S20 for him and he was off and running.
IMO, MS series & Hering are similar in their OB weaknesses as the LOs & 
Huangs.

Be careful, it's music.
Have fun, it's only music.
