Steph,

Are you bending the 5 draw? That will cause early death in any
harp. I generally avoid it. I don't know why the 5 draw would be more
harmful. 5 draw and 5 blow are only a half step apart, so 5 draw bend
is the same note as 5 blow. I suppose that has something to do with it.

Does anybody have the answer?
