Hey, I was just playing around with my LLF at the high end and I got a raised pitch on a 9 hole draw. After a little practice I could sustain it. I was able to sustain it and reproduce it on the 8-10 holes. Once I get it I can maintain it steady for several seconds. On the 8 hole it seems to be between C8 and B7 (the hole usually plays A4 blow, G4 draw.) The 9 and 10 hol I'm not sure I'd even want to try it on a harp that wasn't low tuned. It would be up in dog whistle territory, but it's a steady clean note. Anyone know anything about it?

over-draw... essentially, an overblow (raised pitch) on the draw notes. Only possible on the 7, 8, 9, & 10 holes draw on a 10 hole diatonic (where the corresponding hole blow note is higher pitched).

Is it usual for them to be that much higher? I jumped a couple octaves. And I still can't get an over-blow!

OK, if over-draw is the word for the reverse of an over-blow, what are the really deep draws on the 2 and 3 holes called?
Edit- Over-bend. It makes sense now. Thanks.

well, the really deep bends are still bends. My understanding of the term 'overbend' is to bend a reed down PAST the accurate pitch needed.
(Yeah, I hate it when I have the word, sentence,and paragraph breaks just where I want them, Hit the 'Post Message' button, and everything changes...)

I thought overbend was the general term for overblow and overdraw...
From previous threads I gathered that bending the note past it's accurate pitch was called bending it to the floor/to the max.
