I was tuning a harp and accidentally put the blow reed plate on the top and vice versa. I am definitely not the first to do so, but what a cool mistake I made. I was blow bending for the bent draw notes and overblowing for the draw bends.

Obviously, the notes were in a weird order, but once I got the hang it was a sweet sound. Low draw bends are really soulful, and I could "overblow" with ease. Its worth a 3 minute take apart to try.
