RE: [Harp-L] Advanced split intervals

["steve" <mudharp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 Paul, George Smith would do the 2/5 bend octave .  Bending down the 5 on any key will give you the octave and then after that, of course,  it's all 3 hole blocks on the draw.   That's a great exercise to get all of the  blow and draw octaves continuously.  Easier said than done is an understatement!    I did the 2/5 bend once  while looking at the tuner and it didn't sound too good either.  I've got smaller fish to fry.

Thisallows for playing the octaves on the A note of a Charp for example. What a cool trick! UNfortunately, itseems beyons my ability. Although a pucker player Ican 
bent the single note with TB. When I move mytongue however to allow the natural note to sound Iloose the bent one. Do many of you make use of this?Do I have to be a freak of nature to acheive it?How about other advanced splits such as overblowoctaves or chord fragments?Paul__________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?
