i know this is an old subject, i hope you all will excuse me for bringing it up ones more.
i have been playing the harp for a couple of months, i was in the beginning rather proud to be able to bend some notes after just a couple of days. but i seem to stop there! i cant control it (i know, practise...) and i feel a lack of air.
i got a Hohner's Blues Harp (key of A, 'cause i felt this should be good for blues).
well, i got all the old mailing list (5.5 MB) and been browsing for some time now, and discovered that most people who have tried an Oscar Lee feels this is a good harp. About the Hohner harps, the feelings seem to be a bit more divided. some say the blues harp stinks, some that its good and easy. some say that oscar lee is easier to bend and demands less air.
because of my lack of air and problems with bendings, i think i should try another harp. it will be in a higher key, probobly C, and some that is easy to bend (if there is such harps), but it should of coarse sound good. this i have to work out myself, but i'm sure all of you out there have your own opinion, and i would be very happy if you would share it with me...
if you like to, answer to me only. the list-people maybe tired of this subject.
