Hi, harp guys – Guess I’m a newbie- when I hear Neil, or others play harp, especially while playing guitar, single notes often meld into diads, or triads. Are diatonic harps set up with adjacent holes always forming correct diatonic chords, in their key? Also, one IMPORTANT thing. Does anyone have a “secret” for blowing JUST a single note? Thanks, guys!
