[Harp-L] Chromatic issue please help

[Peter M. Ruth]

The resonant chamber inside his mouth is not the proper size or shape for that particular note.  It’s as if he was shaping the inside of his mouth to bending a note but instead of bending it is choking the sound.  I suggest he needs to somehow make the resonant chamber inside his mouth either a bit bigger or a bit smaller.

Peace & Joy,

Peter Madcat Ruth
