I'm having a little trouble.
I have this cheapo Hohner "Piedmont Blues" harp made of plastic (key of D), but I rather like it. Still, I can't get a sound at all out of draw one, even after trying every level of wind from gentle breeze to hurricane and every mouth position I could think of. What might cause this plight?
