Hi David.
My question is about harmonica position in the mouth.
Have I to tilt as much the harmonica using tongue blocking as using puckering?
I am founding that with tongue blocking I am better with a straighter entrance in my mouth.

Thanks in advance.

I tend to use the same tilt, but this is up to you. I do recommend some tilt though, it helps you to access the top of the tongue for techniques that use a lot of the tongue, such as pulls (up to five holes need to be covered on the high end).
