    Dude!!!
    I was just glad you made it and were able to play! It was a great show even though you were sick. Nice to see it sold out too! I told everyone I knew it was a "must see" show. Wrote the paper, etc...
    A few good friends made it and were awe-inspired.

    this a good video on overblows...and it is easier said than done. Just as Jason said it's like bending notes-with the mechanics you would use to bend a note- but blow. the reeds to be close to the plate. Nearly so close that any tighter the note won't play-
    I appreciate all of the info these guys (Jason, Adam,Ronnie, etc.) have posted here! It really is invaluable....Thanks!!

      Are the both reeds on one hole should be maximum playable lower, or just the the lower reed, which exactly make an overblow?

    You are right... Of course about the 5...about the others I wouldn't myself include them as those notes are available as bends...I haven't YET found an enharmonic advantage for using those...But yes the 5 is a whole step I will pay closer attention to my "shorthand"...Thanks so much for clearing this up.

    It's the same mouth/tongue position as a draw bend except blowing/exhaling. Additionally an over DRAW is the opposite (Same position as a blow bend). Sorry if that is vague but thats what I was told(and how I learned) and it is very hard to describe. Howard Levy used a sonograph machine! Hope that helps. The sarcasm was not needed, I'm here to help.

    The Big River is part of the MS (Modular) series of Hohner replacement reeds. The reeds of that series are shorter and wider which make overblows impossible to sustain and often just to hit.
