RE: [Harp-L] Is Christellester is a Lip Purser or Tounge Blocker... or both ?

Christelle's name is Christelle Berthon. I assure you she uses  
multiple embouchures. More importantly, she can overblow so  
effortlessly that you usually can't tell she's doing it - which is the  
mark of true accomplishment in that skill. She plays beautifully in  
many styles and in so doing has developed a unique style of her own.  
Mark Hummel said he thought she was a cross between Lee Oskar and  
Howard Levy. She'd be the first to admit she doesn't see herself at  
their level - but  I think the comparison is insightful.

(Of course ALL of her tone comes from her microphone...... ;)
