So I'm going back and beefing up my TB skills. I've always adjusted my own reeds so that 4, 5 and 6 OB were easy to hold on to and bend, and 1 OB as a passing tone. 7 OD on occasion but I don't rely on it.
My lick rep is heavily reliant on the 4 OB (passing tone up to 5 blow), I use that as a pivot the way many harp players use 4 draw down a half step.
So TB OB on 4 isn't hard for me, but 5 and 6 are harder. It is consistent enough across my harps that I think it is in part how I adjust the reeds that cause this.
So, my question is: how would you set up an OB differently for a TB player?
Of course I know the answer is "depends on how hard they blow," but I'd like to think theres some knowledge out there on the topic.
