Tip of the Day: Are you a loud player?

Are you a loud player? Most likely you're compensating for your lack of technique by playing loudly. Take a study song you know well and each day strive to play it softer and softer, until you can play it at a whisper-quiet volume. You'll find your bending to improve from this exercise as well as of course your dynamic control (we ALL can use work on that one).

P.S., volume is the #1 killer of harmonicas. Are you guilty of harpslaughter?
