Subject: using overblows

I read much about overblows (and overbends) in this mailing list. I'm trying
to learn it myself, but, exept for two lucky trials, I didn't succeed yet.
It's easy for my to let both reeds 'scream' together and to get the right
pitch when putting my finger over the blow-reed (without the coverplate). But
when I take away my finger, the blow reeds jumps to action again. It seems to
be very difficult, so I also read on this list, especially using this
technique in ones music.

My question is: are there many diatonic players actually using this
technique, just as using normal bends? How many players, subscribed to harp-l
use this technique in their music, more often than casually?
