tongue blocked hole one

Forgive this rudimentary question. I have been away from the harp and the site for over 6 months unfortunately, and I have forgotton when TBing hole 1, does the tongue stay to the left and rest on the portion of the comb to the left of hole 1, or do I tongue switch and play hole 1 with my tongue to the right; or does it depend on the passage. Both feel natural, I just can't remember which, (or maybe both), I did before. (I looked through all the materials I had printed out and didn't find the answer. Maybe I should just review the beginning videos.)
Thanks David
Hello nlm57. You can play hole 1 whichever way feels most comfortable to you. The most common way is to tongue switch (moving your tongue to the right).
