no 6 is a hard one. i was able to get my 1st overblow on a higher note (7 hole) using my special 20. it bends nicely when drawing. i am a long way from perfecting the technique but you helped to give me a place to start.
I haven't tried Blues Band or other cheap harps, but I find Marine Bands not the easiest to play in their price class. I think harps with plastic body sound worse, but are way softer to play and bend. And naked wood in MB expands when you play because of humid air you blow and scratches your mouth. Marine Bands are not as good as they are said to be. They still have the best sound though.
Great stuff man! I'm playing a set of those fucking 'BluesBand' harps! They're god-awful, but i'm hoping that my playing will be all the better for it once I graduate to Marine Bands!

Lol, the overblows I'm getting sound like this...
Draw
Draw Bend
Blow Que-SREEEEEECH
Some of my harps they sound more like notes, other harps there's no response so I'm thinking it's a mixture of gapping & practice.
But yeah, this QUE thing seems to have got me the closest!

Hey, after watching a ton of other videos, this
is the one that got me my first Overblows.
Thanks a bunch, i'll tell others to come watch.
The "Que" helps and i found it's almost a Chu, like your hocking a lougie in the back off your throat.
peace,
