hey if you get a chance Walter any tips for my rack playing greatly appreaciated,Its so differeent in the rack I feel like i have less room to move on the harp,and im afraid to really drill the notes hard like you do,cause im afraid ill mess my harps up.Im trying to get a feel,for it though,I want to add my stompbox but right now it takes away more than it adds,so i left it out.

I watched the video and really can't suggest anything with the harp set up. I don't blow my harps very hard. Stock marine bands are lasting years and these delta frosts seem like they last forever. My 14 hole marine band in c is going on 30 years old and I use it regularly to record and at gigs. Bending notes on the rack is no different than holding it in your hands and doing it. Just keep putting those hours in with having a good time with it. Time, time, and time. That is what will get the sounds you hear inside your soul to the world. Walter

Blowing hard is fine if the mood hits and when it does, I blow them hard. You sound like one should starting out. Finding the solo holes and bending them takes time. Maybe practice the harp in the rack while you watch tv and stuff like that so you get use to it. Not having the guitar going can make it easier to focus on the harp. I never did this. I just worked them both together till I am where I am at today, but it sounds like a good idea? Walter

PS: I also put the harp all the way to the right. It fits better that way for some reason.
