[Harp-L] Practice drills for clear single note playing?

believe it!
does take time/practice to work up to that.
perhaps the difference is diatonic vs chrom?
perhaps spending years in pursuit of the most effective approach? efficiency of air usage? breathing the harmonica instead of blowing and sucking?

30 SECONDS ! Eight or nine seconds is as long as I can sustain a one-breath note on a very leakproof chromatic.
