Re: Re: Harmonica range

["BT" <bulldog483@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Coast to Coast  said that the double reed Harmonica cannot be bent ,yet in
that Kim Wilson NPR interview , it sounded like he was bending a double reed
,,was it my imagination or is he that good . I do not have ,nor have I ever
played a double reed but I have wanted to since hearing that interview.
He may have played some tongue blocks and I am not accustom to hearing them
on the doubles..
