How to set up the harmonica for over draws?

Hello Kinya,

On the web I’ve found information on how to  setup the harmonica for overblows, very little on how to do it for overdraws; just that the setup is similar. So on a new harmonica I gapped it a bit, managed som OD’s, added curvature, arching - and then it was not possible anymore? Flattened the reed back again, and it worked again! So now I don’t do that but compared to overblows the draws is much more of a struggle, overblows much easier. I’m experimenting with embossing and nail polish to make it more air tight.

I’m new to OD.s, managed my first one just recently (7), then came the rest (8, 9, 10) short after that ; so probably my technique is not optimal yet.

Would you have any suggestions on how to setup the harmonica for overdraws; all help appreciated much.    

Many thanks // Ceno
