Hi Bill,
            I'm going to assume it is your technique causing this problem,
and give you a few tips to try based on that assumption. I'm also assuming
you use lip blocking embouchure; as opposed to tongue blocking when you
experience this problem. Two and also three draw tend to be very unforgiving
if you tense up at all. Make sure your jaw muscles are relaxed, and don't
suck in very hard. Also make sure you aren't pulling your tongue back in
your mouth. Try saying the word  "you" slowly, and you'll see what I mean by
pulling your tongue back. Hope this helps.     My best,
                                                                            
                  Allen

I have two harps that I just cannot get the two and three and draw right on,
an "A" Hohner Big River  and a "G" Hohner Blues Harp.  Love the comb size on
the Big River and the mellow tone of the Blues Harp.  I have no problem on
these notes with my Special 20's or my Suzuki's.  Is it me or the harps?  Or
is there even any way to tell from the information I've given?
