Abstract:
A harmonica including damping means for producing pure overblow and/or overdraw tones and making such tones less difficult to produce. The harmonica includes at least one slide which damps at least one blow reed corresponding to a draw reed which vibrates during an overblow procedure. The harmonica may also include a second slide, a draw reed slide which damps at least one draw reed to allow vibration of a blow reed during an overdraw procedure. A method of overdrawing and overblowing is also disclosed.
