The Carioca and (I think it's) the Blue Tango are the only songs I can think of where I use what Lionel called "twiddleybits" and I think it's the same  technique you're describing as nipping. This is where the button is "slapped very quickly and abruptly and left to spring return on it's own. It produces as close to a sharp staccato effect when playing octaves as I think I'll ever achieve, but truly not it's not as precise or sharply defined as can be achieved by other instruments.


Actually Danny, I am referring to nipping as when you put your full mouth over the harp and nip with your lips to create a staccato effect. The hitting of the slide button would be more  like slapping the button.
Hope this clears THAT up, hehehe
