Are you putting in the rests "tshshshs" sounds like Mad Cat suggests?
I can't really sustain anything so fast as the real proponents of that
style, but even on a relatively slow train rhythm groove, you can use the
beats where you're not actually playing a harp note to get rid
Of that air.

Subject: [Harp-L] Train Rhythms and Fox Chases

I've been fooling around with Train Rhythms and Fox Chases lately and have
run up air management problems. Little bits of air from each inhale
accumulates in my lungs despite the corresponding exhale. As my lungs fill
up it affects the speed and rhythm until eventually I have to exhale.

How do folks manage their air to sustain long runs?
