Lee Oskar's harps squeel when you overblow. For other harps (SP20, Golden 
Meldies) you don't need to do that.

The remedy is nail polish at the rivet or gummy poster stuff in the middle 
of the reed (Pascal Veillette's method). The second method may require 
re-tuning.

I don't use Lee Oskar's so I'm no expert here.
