Fwd: [Harp-L] bending using tonque block corner switches

["Winslow Yerxa" <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

A third possibility is that they continued to tongue block with the 
opening remaining in the right corner, but let the left side of the 
embouchure go past the left end of the harp. As the tongue blocks any 
air from escaping the lips whether or not there is a harmonica 
present, the embouchure continues to create an airtight seal.

I think you will find that the answer will vary from individual to 
individual and could be any one of the three. Choose what works best 
for you.

hello friends!
i'm studying   tonque block bending after a long pucker playing 
period :)
I can play straight notes with both sides of the mouth
and can bend 4 and 6 holes.
the question is 
did those chicago style tonque blockers played low bends with their
left side of the mouth( corner switch) or using pucker technique?
does anyone overblow with TB?
