hello, i've noticed that loads of times after i finish jamming on my harmonica i get a really weird sensation in my teeth, almost like they are loose, it goes away after a few minutes, but i just wanted to know weather 1. if its serious 2 if its normal and 3 weather i should be concerned

can anyone help please?

It's probably not your teeth. Playing for long periods of time can make your lips a little numb from the vibrations of the reeds.

In time, your lips will 'toughen up' and it will take longer before they go numb, if at all.

but i don't thinks its my lips! i actually feels like my teeth. and it's not always for long periods, i can happen after like 20 minutes or so

Tbh, I don't really know, it was a while ago that I first started playing. Maybe it will stop over time. I guess if it carries on, then after a few months see your dentist.

okay thanks

Stop biting your harp!

haha, i can't help it, it just tastes so nice!

i have experienced the same!
when i began playing on the harmonica i always played like i was "kissing" my harmonica with a "pucker"
i noticed that i had the tendency to puch my harmonica to hard against my lips, so that my teeth had to deal with the pressure

i dont think it's a bad thing,
exept if after a month or so you can notice that your teeth start to move..

so maybe you can try an other technique or you could just try to focus on not pressing the harmonica to hard against your lips

I guess, by now, you've learned that the "Granny pucker" is improper embouchure?

Need more like a "Fish-Lips-semi-pucker" rather than a "kissing-type-pucker". Open your mouth a bit more to be able to get the harp a little deeper into the oral cavity. You're lips should be well on the harp, not just "resting" against the harp. And don't bite the harp! Relax. Breathe through the harp.

Ya don't bite your harp
