David, I've noticed I play more precise when I hold harmonica with two hands.

Should I challenge myself to one-hand occasionally, or maybe it does not matter?

Hello RB, it does not matter.

Hello RB, it does not matter. When I'm just messing around (not performing) I often use one hand. When I'm performing, or need extra precision, I use two hands.
