playing in tune on diatonic



If you play (for example) the 4 hole inhale bend by pulling it down until the 
reed won't go any lower in pitch (bottoming out, so to speak), the note you 
create is flat by as much as 20 cents.

The same goes for the lowest note created with every other bending technique, 
whether it be inhale or exhale.

This doesn't even begin to address those multiple notes created in the middle 
of bends, such as 3 hole inhale, 2 hole inhale, 10 hole exhale.

Now, how many of you can honestly say that you consciously address this when 
you play?
