'take it easy' 5 Draw bend
Hi David
I'm learning 'take it easy' and am not surprisinglay finding the 5 draw bend a little tricky.
I have been using the Harp Ninja and am wondering if you could help with the level of how deep I should go in the bend.
Playing the 5 draw un-bent position has the 5 Draw showing green with the pointer dead on 12 o'clock (all the other holes are @ 10 past the hour). So first I was wondering if the reed is slightly flatter than the other holes.
When trying to Bend I am getting the usual bend and then release of not being able to yet hold the bend, I'm expecting that I'll Get better at that - however I'm. It sure I have the bend at the correct time and am worried that I'm trying to get it to go too deep. The pointer goes anti-clockwise red and goes to @ 20 to the hour.
Could you advise on the depth of the bend I should be looking at trying to achieve?
Many Thanks
Richard

Hello Richard. Red is what you're going for... with time you'll be able to light up the 5+ a little bit. Be careful of playing too loudly... it's easy to kill the 5 draw and 5 blow reeds with excessive bending practice.
