Shake 3-4 vs 4-5

Posted Sun, 09/26/2021 - 04:23 by ÉricD
ÉricD's picture

Is is normal that I feel that shakes 3-4 should be played somewhat differently?

When playing (draw) 4-5 or 5-6 both notes seem balanced. But for 3-4, 4 seems more "prominent", and I have to put "less 4" to feel it balanced. I keep this feeling for all harmonicas.

Is it something known? or maybe can it be a hint of a problem?

When getting to the left of the harmonica, the left corner can get more in the mouth, and I close a bit more my lips to avoid air leaking. Maybe this causes some dissymetry, and I don't know if it's a bad thing. continue reading...

hello David e would like to have your opinion how long it takes to spend on one level to be sure to be able to pass to another ?? Is it necessary to strive on one level or rather move to another and come back to it later?
