Re: [Harp-L] beginning lip pursing

Its more like drinking from a glass, as The Iceman has described over the years, as its not really a "pucker" because the harmonica is deeper in the mouth, and you are not "kissing" it.

You have to concentrate the air flow so you activate the holes and notes that you want.
