Like this:

This is actually on an A harp, so the notes are B F# B.

Using the same technique, you can also do cool things like a spread
voicing of a major triad played on holes 1, 3 and 5 blow:

Or how about a quintal triad played on holes 2, 4 and 6 draw:

It's not as hard as you might think, but having the right type of harp
helps a little...
