I got me a new suzuki harp, only to find I can't control the bends on the 3 draw like I can with my marine bands. I only seem to be able to get the deepest bend. Less air redirection and I just get silence, or at best very low volume, less air redirection still and I'm straight into the unbent note. As I can get the bends easily with my other harp of the same key, I'm wondering if it's how the harp is set up, rather than (or as well as ) my technique. I don't have much experience in reed adjustment though. Does anyone have any tips as to whether, and how, I should adjust the gapping to get better control over these bends? Reading online articles about gapping has just left me feeling more confused, and I'm finding the problem really frustrating when playing, so I would really appreciate any thoughts or input anyone might have. _______________________________________________ Harp-L is sponsored by SPAH, http://www.spah.org Harp-L@xxxxxxxxxx http://harp-l.org/mailman/listinfo/harp-l
