Hi WInslow.
Reading harp-l archives I found a term I don't know nothing about it
What is "spit position"?

I think is something related to the embouchure.

That's Robert Bonfiglio talking, yes?

He seems to be referring to playing with a pucker (also called lip blocking) where you get a single note using only your lips (that is, not using the tongue to block any holes).
