David,

Do you ever play a 2-6 split draw? Draw 3-7 is an octave I undestand the 2-5 draw is not an octave and is used.

Thanks 528hemi

Answer

You can use any combination that sounds good to you. Historically speaking, I do not use, nor have I ever heard, a blues harmonica player play that combination. Maybe you'll be the first one! ;-)
