Light Touch Test

Do you have a light touch with your tongue on the face of the harmonica? Let's test.

Hold the right-end of the harmonica with your thumb and one finger... thumb on bottom... finger on top. Hold it loosely so it acts like a hinge. Try a slap... or a pull... or an octave. Does the harmonica push away as soon as you place your tongue on the harmonica? If so, you're pushing too hard. Light touch equals faster, better tone and less tongue abrasion! ;-)
