Should be easy right? And the easist hole (4 draw) should be super easy right?
Well I for the life of me can't bend it, LP or TB. But Sonny Boy seems to have no problem wailing on it. 1 2 and 3 are no problem, could bend them all day, but 4 is giving me trouble
I'm gonna assume its me before i blame the harp (ive never ventured from a Bb and C as of yet)
Its a Marine band if it makes any difference

Well the further away from the 'middle ground' of the C harp, the more slight adjustments you have to make to your technique. Nothing insurmountable, but the high pitches and low pitches at the two extremes do need different approaches.

Can you bend the 6 hole on your Bb? They're the same notes.

Well I didn't, I have been focusing on the first 4 holes since I am still trying to get it nice for both embouchures, but I worked at the 6 hole and the 4 on the F and I'm starting to get it for both of them.
Thanks guys

ya the F harp is realy hard to bend. you have to reduce your tongue to like 1/3rd the movement that you would use to bend a lower key.

Yes, the higher key the harp the more subtle the mouth changes (at least for me).
