Hi David! Could you have a listen at these two snippets, and advise whether that weird sound (kinda rattle) from my 2 draw bending on a D harp is the effect of bad technique or a reed problem? I only started to use the D harp a week ago, so it could be I haven't adjusted my mouth accordingly yet. Thank you.

Hey Stef. I'm not sure what

Hey Stef. I'm not sure what causes that, ask Kinya on his part of the forum, he may be able to guide you on what needs to be done to fix it.
