Re: [Harp-L] Inhaling through nose trouble, please help

Never say never, part 2.

Rick, if I try to end a note with my pharynx open, I just stop breathing. The note ends with the breath flow.

But maybe I want a sharper cutoff. If I use a T sound, even with the nose open, I still get a more immediate cutoff. Not as crisp as with the pharynx closed, but I can definitely end the note.

I find that I can also bend a note with air flowing through my nasal passages. 

Of course, I've been playing a long time and can overcome the difficulty that nasal air flow imposes. But still, all these things are actually possible.

Never say never.
