RE: [Harp-L] 3draw bend / overblow

["Degregorio, Jeffery" <jeffery.degregorio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unless I'm mistaken, to get overblows too, don't you have to do something to the reeds themselves - like wind savers or something to the reeds - (excuse my ignorance if this is not the correct term)?  Can someone explain this.

Can overblows be done with a new/or unmodified harp out of the box?

As far as 2d and 3d bends, this will come in time.  Videos, books, backing tracks, Skype lessons, seminars, training, and simply taking the harmonica everywhere you go will help.

Regards,
Jeff

Hey Bill,

It takes awhile to master 2 & 3 hole bends so don't get too frustrated and the Overblows will come once your getting good clean single notes and solid bending facility.

I'm doing  a Harp Clinic in Philly on Sat Feb 11th From 3-6pm

Details are on my Website:
