Just about anyone I´ve herd recorded can play the chromatic better than I can.
I have no idea about technique. It isn´t a question of air tightness. I know
it isn´t that. If anything my single notes play like a machine without any
input from me other than blowing and drawing air. I honestly have never herd
anyone play the chromatic live, so maybe I´m imagining it. But the recording
artists, pro and amateur, flat out play better single notes than I do. Forget
how I play. I´m awful. The harmonicas I´ve herd recorded sound much better
than any of the four I own. Single notes, chords, short, long, hard, soft.
I just can´t get a good sound out of them. I feel like I´m playing the role
of air compressor. I have no idea how techniqe can change the sound that
comes out of a chromatic. The notes are pretty much monotone. Fight the
reeds resonant frequency with oral resonance? I wish I knew how!
