Hello Dave

I m learning to blow and draw clean single notes using HarpNinja

as the visual aid. 

I know that 3B = 2D = G note on a C harp.

But I can get 2 hole draw light to come on HarpNinja regardless 

if I am doing 2D or 3B. Why? 

Am i doing something wrong with tongue blocking?

Thanks

Alan Tay

Hello Alan. As you stated, 2

Hello Alan. As you stated, 2 draw and 3+ are both G. Harp Ninja detects pitch, so it doesn't know the difference between a 2 draw or 3+, this is why they both light up.
