I just started the chromatic harmonica 1-2 weeks ago and breath and the tuning where c repeats are the hardest parts I've found. I constantly feel myself getting full of air so I decided to seek out videos on breath as nobody actually teaches chromatic harp in my part of the world. I did a test on how long I could blow out a note without any circular breathing and how long I could draw in a note. The blow was 30 seconds while the draw was 20 seconds. I keep breathing through my nose in regular playing to be able to get the low tones to sound alright. Gotta work on that! Thank you for the video

Thank you. I am going to practice.But in other hand, i wonder how long does it require to master this technique in average ? I couldn't leave my harmonica alone for too long. Plz reply me soon. Thanks a lot :)
I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you Vinh...just saw your question. Breath control is relative, you can start improving in a few days, and keep improving for years. Like oboe.
