nice way of adjusting the harp. I'll try it out on an older one I have and see what happens.

I have a Lee Oskar Harp in C and the 2d has allways been difficult to bend (you have to suck the wick out of it) I followed your instructions and now it's perfect. Thanks for sharing your knowlege.

Great question. Blues harps are made with slightly softer brass; they bend easier, but also go mushy faster. They're OK for players up through the first year of playing; after that, Marine Bands are definitely the way to go.

Hey Thank you, I'm glad I found you. New to YouTube. Love this format. Is there a way to follow your videos in sequence? Thanks Dusty Stallion

I'm not sure what you mean by sequence. I've numbered the lessons in the order in which I've recorded them. This isn't meant to be an orderly series of lessons, from A to Z, but a free-form series of tuneup exercises for players who may not realize that they've got a lot of small but important things to work on.

Each harp is "in" the key stamped on the coverplate, and it's in that key for all ten holes. So no: the key does not change when you go up on the higher end. You just need to learn which holes to play.

MAN!!! Am I ever glad I found you here!!! Thanks so so much for showing me that the reeds CAN be manipulated. I have an old Echo 1494/28 that I've been wanting to return to service after a 6 year old trashed it on me, and NOBODY seems to know how to do it. Thanks A MILLION!!! Hank
