I wanted to mention the 1 and 2 hole difficulties, just breathe, work it slowly get the feel, these reeds are longer, especially in G. You have to coax them, try not to pull or push to hard. A table tuner can help you find the notes you want.

@GreenStamps, I understood what you mean. Maybe a good idea! If I place the tip of my tongue just in front of my teeth and simulate the inward draft of air, I can feel the air moving past to the right and left. The tip of the tongue is untouched by the air. The whole thing initially without a harp.
I’ll test it with Harp later.
Thank you very much!
I find myself doing the same. To cure this I drop my jaw to decrease the size of the path the air can flow into the harp. I guess you would call it lip blocking. Get much cleaner notes. I have to admit even though things are getting better I let my tongue raise or/ and sometimes breath incorrectly. Bad habits can creep up on me that were not a problem at the get go but must be dropped. Its always something.
