Any harmonica players out there that have tried this? My lips don't slide so well after a minute or two.

Sorry, Tommy, I *wish* I could play harmonica. But I immediately thought the Oasis GEL might be better for the way you describe your problem. The gel keeps my mouth moist all night long even tho' I'm a mouth breather. The spray gets places like throat, but I don't see it really moisturizing your lips. The gel will stay on your tongue longer and may transfer to your lips better. Hope this helps.

sorry I would like to help but I do not play the harmonica, but it seems to moisten my mouth in a very pleasant way. I have trouble speaking sometimes my mouth gets so dry ,

Unless you are a harmonica player, you can not answer this question honestly. It is not as good as the other brand I used before, but is a 6 or 7 on a scale of 10. I only ordered it because the other brand is not longer available in my small town store.

Oasis gives me enough saliva to moisten my lips. You would have to do it frequently.

When a harmonica leaks air, it not only takes more wind, it is not putting the air where it belongs. It's a mark of poor craftsmanship. If you hear air get a different harmonica.

I didn't have issues with my valves for this trumpet, I will say that the 3rd valve slide on mine is very loose and has a tendency to slide down and out on a regular basis. The tuning slide itself also was well lubricated. I believe these horns come with valve oil in their cases. I do not recall, but you can never go wrong with Al Cass valve oil but it generally run $6 a bottle.

Could be that you are not ready for the band you are using , maybe you need to use a less number . Or put a little olive oil on the device to smooth it out . You can help yourself pressing with your fingers your laugh lines to avoid that fold when your doing the excercise . Also make an oval with your mouth don't open it to big . Do it slow that way you can make the oval right .

I have my Bach 11 and the P-Bone plastique in the case. I play at a very low "wine bar volume". I prefer the plastic one for comfort and better low pressure control. Also, my best advice to you on this novel and fun to play horn, which I gig about 3 days a week, keep the slide dry, swab the slide's insides after each use! I haven't found a better working slide lubricant system yet.

I really like this auto harp, but it does NOT have fine tuning. I haven't had any problems fine tuning it myself though - just a laborious process and needs to be done frequently in the first few months.

Hi Linda, My husband uses these and he is very satisfied. He has tried other brands only to have them slip out of place and then his dentures slip also. He would recommend them for you to try.

not for me, sliding is easy and simple. just press the middle where the line and slide up or down. good luck!

I used a microphone with a 1/4in jack. It sounded ok with harmonica. Not sure about singing through it though. Be careful with volume, settings & feedback. You can toast your amp in a heartbeat.

I'm not a harmonica player, but if you're worried about the gel formula, try their dry mouth spray. It works equally as good and has a pleasant taste.

I did sometimes, but I realized it was user error. If the mouthpiece is not fully opened and the straw isn't all the way on, you can't get anything out of it. Hope it helps!!! That seemed to help for me :)

Look at the you tube, it will help you get right technique. I love mine. Are you small mouthed, sounds silly, but everyone's mouth is not the same size, including the opening.

No.... if you want the tubing mouth effects, it is a whole different device, and not easy to use. Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh are excellent guitar players that have made that device what it is.... an expansion of their talents.

Most of the time I rock it back and forth and will come off. If not I'll gurgle with warm water. As warm as you can handle. Hope it helps you. ;-)

Hard for me to say since I don't play the harp, it may be too low. Also, it could wobble a bit with arm movement. Certainly it is portable and pretty comfortable. Hope that is helpful.

I have not noticed sounds from bumps and rubs, but the mouthpiece hangs just below my chin so it doesn't contact my clothing too often. The chord does tangle, but it's better than others I've had. I'm not sure why.

I also had difficulty using my mouth. I used the pump I use for my inflatables and the tube only blows up half-way and sinks in spots. I have to think it's the way the tube is made. I had another brand and it blew up just fine.
