Right, you can do it with an overblow. That was the first thing I played when I figured out the overblow. I was working on this thing where I would get a dischord of some kind by overblowing one note in  a chord. I could do it on the B-rad. I haven't tried that in a couple of years.  I'll have to try to do that tomorrow and see what happens.

You CAN do that quip on a diatonic...BUT it won't have the 'between the notes' double note bleed over into a dischord and back into another note that the original sound track has. 
With a diatonic, you would use a slur-bend.  Close, but not quite.
