There are two primary approaches to playing the harmonica. One use the lips alone, and the other, recommended route, is to use the tongue. This second approach is critical for playing chords and rhythmic accompaniment while playing melody.

1. When you play, make sure you mouth is clean. Do not playimmediatelyafter you eat unless you have cleaned your mouth.
2. Warm the harmonica between your hands for better response (especially during the winter.)
3. After you finish playing a piece, tap the harmonica with its holes down against your hand or your leg to clear it of excess spit.
4. Do not touch the mechanism within the harmonica, it produces the sound by vibration and is very sensitive.
If the harmonica is out of a tune or a note is "stuck", you should send it for cleaning and repair.
