Hi, new to the forum, I come from the west coast of Scotland. Been playing the Harmonica (moothie) for about a year and a half, can bend the 1,2, and 4 draws, but still having difficulties with the 3 draw, tried OBs but sounds like the harp is coming apart and feels like my fillings are coming out. You all seem like a friendly bunch, I'm sure I'll learn a lot just being here.

"You all seem like a friendly bunch,"
our friendliness waxes and wanes............with the phases of the moon
Kidding Harry, just don't mention religion, disrespect overblowing or profess a love for "traditional blues" at the expense of the new and innovative and everything will be fine.

Welcome HarpyHarry. Never heard it called moothie before. How did that name come about?

"Moothie"
A derivative of mouth harp perhaps?
Anyway, welcome to the club Harry!

I've got some friends that are Scots, and they call it a moothie as well. Welcome aboard from New Orleans!
