Greetings all
Attempting to learn this devilish instrument. I find that perhaps I am applying
too much lip pressure to the harp. After about 30 minutes starting to get jaw
ache and a bit sore at the corners of my mouth. Almst like having "kissing
rash".
Obviously the solution is to apply less pressure, but any tips for the novice?
Already ensuring that I drink plenty of water and apply lip balm to aid
movement up and down the harp.
Best wishes from South Australia
Murray
