[Harp-L] Tongue-Blocked Bends

["Bill Hines" <billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tongue blockers - when you are bending hole 1, 2 or 3 draw, are you
right-tongue blocking (tongue on the right, exposing holes to the left side
of your mouth) or is your tongue blocking holes on the left side of your
mouth and the harp? Seems like the most effective would be to be able to use
the former for these holes, and then switch over to bend on 4 and up. But
pretty tough learning tongue-blocked bends out of both sides of the mouth
(in fact, even just for one). I can hit them all with pucker, just trying to
be versatile with the embochures. I know, just keep at it until it works,
but tips appreciated.
