Re: [Harp-L] low harp bending

[Boris Plotnikov <ploboris@xxxxxxxxx>]

1. More embossing.
2. More practice
3. Try Seydel 1847 in LowC. I can even overblow holes 4 and higher on
my LowC and LowBb.
4. Also recommend to tune down at least a halfstep using abrasive by
making reed base thinner and polished (lenghtwise tuning only!)
