Hello everybody

Big thanks to all who gave me advice on my previous post 'What key harp to
buy next'. I think what I'll probably do is get a Bb as
I've already got a G to get the feel of a low harp (I can always get another
low F in the future).

Now, however, I'm having an absolute nightmare learning to bend the 10-hole
blow. I've got no problem with 8 & 9 but it's just not
happening on the 10. I've tried it on several key harps (LOs) to no avail.
All I get is a horrible screech.

Any tips would be more than gratefully received

Very best wishes


p.s. Just bought a cd in the Testament Records', Masters of Modern Blues
series called Floyd Jones - Eddie Taylor with Otis
Spann, Big Walter Horton, Fred Below. BW plays on every track and sounds
pretty damn good to me! (As does the whole
album). Apols. to all those who know all about this record.
