THIS IS GREAT! AS I dip my toe further and further into jazz I find that as I gain more facility on the instrument - that I become more excited when I play. Heres the thing - excitement - brings physical tension. If have been a pro bassist for 25 or so years - I very clearly remember having to learn to "micro relax" my hands during my practice time - because I get SO HYPE when I play - and Im neurodivergent - ADHD/ASD - not at ALL uncommon amongst artists in general - Im sure some folks reading this can relate - well - if you can you know that your nervous system is tuned tight as a drum. And when you get excited - that affects your body - PARTICULARLY the way one breathes - so yall know - your throat tightens up - your tone goes out the window - you lose fluidity of playing. THIS kind of exercise is a REALLY good way to tune into your own nervous system as well. If one is sersious about become a skilled muscian - I highly suggest starting some sort of mindfulness practice. One CAN use their practice time for this - you dont need to go get a guru - you just need to stay present to what you are doing "NOW", and practice bringing you attention back when it wanders. It will improv not just your playing but life in general.
I really love your sound, it breaks all the stereotypes about the harmonica!
Thanks for your kind words!

any advise/help where to buy good one in EU .. can't practice without..
Don't understand?
I ask because the Chromatic Sounds Cleaner
can You advise where to buy good harmonica.. and which model? .. never had one!
I would recommend the Suzuki SCX48, fantastic instrument for the money!
ONE MORE THING - If you find the limitations frustrating - think of it as a game!
Yes! Limitations is what can take you forward.
What key harmonica are you using
C chromatic
Are you bending with the chromatic ? Thx
No, not in the same way as on the diatonic. I might tweak one or two notes, but that is more articulation than bending.
