Hey guys, open up a harp, put some tape on the blow reeds to block the sound, put back the cover plates then take a straw, point it down on the draw reed and blow, you get an overblow like in this video.
Then try it! I'm just blowing 'normally' and if you blow softly or take the straw a little way from the harmonica you will get an ordinary note. Did I tell you Joe Filisko designed the straw for me? Just kidding.

Did you check out the 'hands-free' vid yet? I DID get that from Joe Filisko.
I haven't tried it, but are you certain you're not tuning your mouth cavity like you ordinarily would do to make a an overblow? Are you certain you CAN'T produce the ordinary note through a straw even if you wanted to?
i can blow all day long non customized harmonica MarineBand in D with straw, and nothing happens. same blow note.
