The more harmonica you get in your mouth the bigger your tone. Tilting the face of the harmonica down helps as well... this allows your tongue to stay more to the floor of the mouth... a key element in achieving good tone (the tongue is the #1 culprit of poor, thin, whiny tone... down dog down!).

I'm off to camping with my family... back with more daily words of harmonica wisdom on Monday... have a great weekend everyone!
