Frost Delta
Which harmonica on the market is the easiest to draw and blow? Tried the Bushman and find them hard to blow.?
Bought my 1st harp – M. Band 3 years ago – did not like the wood comb chaffing my lips. Discovered the Bushman. Ordered a Soul’s Voice. While the sound was beautiful, one of the reeds needed adjustment – John, the owner, said that the Soul’s was intended to be played by blues musicians who knew how to alter the reeds. He took the harp back because i said I wouldn’t know how to make the adjustments. I ordered a Delta Frost – thought the sound was much more mellow/sweeter than the M.B.. In the past 2 years I have ordered and played the C,D,E, F, G, and A. They are very well made harps. I play mostly folk songs on it. I’m still not very good, mosltly because i get winded out trying to draw the notes. Recently a friend agreed that the Bushman required more air than his other harps; he allowed me to play his Johnson, which was much easier for me to blow and draw. But many cite that one should expect a % to be flawed. Is the Golden Melody easier to draw on than the Bushman?

I used to use these for the same reason: it didn’t chaffe my lips. Once broken in, I like its action. I also would soak after every show (lipstick!).
