[Harp-L] Breath control advice?

[Chris Talbot]

Hey, everyone.

I'm looking for advice on improving my breath control. Simply put, I tend
to fill up on air a little too quickly. I thought it was just me and my
inability to do a good nose push, but then I believe someone on the list
mentioned pinching their nose while playing to restrict air intake to the
mouth.

I gave it a shot and it worked like a charm. No problem at all ... well,
except that I can't imagine playing for the next few decades with a
clothespin on my nose.

That's a long-winded way of asking for advice. Are there techniques for
improving my draws so I'm not taking in too much extra air through my nose?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
