Re: [Harp-L] Blisters and sore tongue from playing

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

 so many issues similar to these can be minimized, if not eliminated completely, by backing off on the force and muscle intensity used while playing. use the minimum amount of effort and learn to get the maximum amount of results.




Has any one else out there suffered this annoying problem and is there anything 
i can do to alleviate,reduce it or eliminate it.

Subject: [Harp-L] Blisters and sore tongue from playing










Hi Guys recently i have seen a post here regarding sore lips and the use of lip 
balms and creams to protect the lips.

Does anybody have the problem of blisters on the tongue after playing a gig or 
practise session when octave or normal tongue blocking.

I am suffering this problem a lot recently and i dont want to stop tongue 
blocking because i love the great sound i get.

I play mainly with Marine Band wooden combed harps and would consider myself an 
intermediate player.

Has any one else out there suffered this annoying problem and is there anything 
i can do to alleviate,reduce it or eliminate it.

Thanks in advance for any answers 


Regards Graham
