Re: [Harp-L] RE: Blowing too hard....

Man, playing ensemble acoustically means having an amp, at least for me. 
Doing 1 -6 blow bends and particularly 7 - 10 draw bends with a valved 
harp requires playing very gingerly if you want a stable, good sounding 
note. Dynamics is the volume control on my mike. At $20 for a set of 
reed plates, I simply refuse to damage my instrument to satisfy someone 
else's idea of acoustic.
