[Harp-L] Overblows and harmonicas

[Shawn Williams <swilliamsffpm@xxxxxxx>]

i am not an expert Ob'er. i have used them 2 times in a performance and it only worked once. :-) i get them fair in practice depending on the harp. you probably won't learn how to get one on a cheap harp. i still can't get one on most of my harps. the 1847 and a soloist pro are the only harps i personally have been able to get an OB on out of the box. Groovy Gypsy let me try one on 1 of his custom harps at the first Rockers in the Rockies and i hit it dead on (having tried it on my cheaper harps w/ almost no success back then). I don't know about Herings, but i'd try the 1847 based on my OB beginner experience. HTH
 
>I have a few Herings that I am fond of and I was wondering how are they for overblows? I also have a >stock Seydel 1847, are they really pretty easy to overblow out of the box? Should I practice on that or >is it wiser to practice on a cheaper harmonica so I don't wreck my most expensive harmonica? ShawnAlbuquerque, NM
