My dad brought me a A harp and watched a lot of videos to play it, but when I tried to play the 2nd and 3rd draw it made a really weird sound, so I cleaned it but it continues with that weird sound, I don't know what to do, the sound is as if I were playing the whistle from a truck!I would be so grateful if any of you can help me. By the way, English is not my mother tongue, sorry if I had any mistake.

While you wait for Kinya's reply, you may wish to look at FAQ | General Technique | My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!

Hello Nicolle, it is terrific

Hello Nicolle, it is terrific to hear from you!

Have you had an opportunity to compare it to another Diatonic harmonica in the same Key of A?

I strongly recommend you few the following two Harp Tech Study videos:

  • https://www.bluesharmonica.com/harp_tech_studies_1
  • https://www.bluesharmonica.com/harp_tech_study_4_reed_gapping

Please stay in touch so that we may learn of your progress.

Your Harpsmith, Kinya
