Tried Some Bends
(Preview)
Earleir today, I ran across the Hohner Bluesband Harp that I bought for my grandaughter. It was sitting under some papers on the coffeetable when I saw it.

Frankenstine Harp collection
(Preview)
When I first started to play the harp, I didn't know there was a differance in the quality of the little rascals. Sounds silly now, but as a raw beginner I didn't think about it much. I was happy to toot out a tune or two and go on my way. Then there was the bright shiney 12 harp set I saw in a music store window. H...

Puckering vs. Tounge Blocking
(Preview)
It appears to me that the more advanced harpists use the pucker rather than the tounge-blocking method. (especially for more advanced effects) I am much better at tounge-blocking, should I work more on puckering, especially for bends?
Best regards,

harmonica brass question
(Preview)
I was wondering about what metals make up a harmonica. I know brass is one. I guess my concern is the use of lead. I read that brass is an alloy of zinc and copper but some add lead to ease production. I hope that harmonica manufacturers don't use any lead. Any thoughts?
