Right index finger, vertically positioned, will stroke reed elbow at direction, perpendicular to frame plane, inward and outward. Most common mistakes: Dampening reed with lips - try to remove them completely from the frame first time. Lips should not help to hold jews harps.Pressing frame to lips instead of teeth - sound will be muffled and quiet.Pressing frame too hard, squeezing it with lips or fingers - in this case you will hear metallic clanging when reed hit frame. IT IS NOT JEWS HARP FAULT and nothing should be "repaired", except handling accuracy! If all ok and you started buzzing, try to move tongue, throat, change shape of mouth. Some positions will produce exact notes; some just change timbre and volume. Let the fun begins!
