[Harp-L] Overblowing newbie

["Glenn Weiser" <celticguitar1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there-

I'm trying to teach myself overblowing using an unmodified stock Marine 
Band, key of C, starting with the 6-hole.
OK, so I'm not a harmonica newbie, but I feel like one now, because it's 
hard as hell to get the reed to pop up to the OB note. And it sounds awful 
when I do.
Speaking as a supplicant with folded hands, my question to the OB gurus is: 
what am I doing wrong? Can it really be this hard?
Can you advise, Winslow? Anyone?
