Cupping technique

Hi David,
I just wathced your lesson about mic and cupping. I'm working with a bullet mic and Everyting is good to me but I would need some advice about cupping when playing the right end of the harmonica, let's say from hole 7 to 10. How do I have to change my hands on the harmonica ? Do I have to cover the left holes with my left tumb like emulating what I do when playin low notes ?
Thanks
Hey lucky harp. It's not common to move the left thumb as you move up, but it is common to shift your right hand to the right as you move up... basically your right band follows your face to help include the right-hand side of the harp in your cup. Experiment with it, I see a lot of different ways to get the job done.
