Re: [Harp-L] The beatings will continue untill tuning improves

You can blow harder on the octave to bring in a beat sometimes, if the octave is close but not perfect. Reason being, when you blow harder, the lower note of the two flattens.

Subject: [Harp-L] The beatings will continue untill tuning improves

I understand, when tuning a harmonica it's best to avoid beating of octaves. 
But I really like the way William Clarke uses a beating effect in his stuff. 
Is it the tuning,  or the technique,  bending one side of the octave ?
