I should have clarified that I was talking about blow bends. (But
I'm sure the same is true for
draw bends.) It doesn't matter whether you hold the harp upside
down or even sideways! I
don't have a harp handy to test it, but I wonder if the same is true
for overblows?
Sure its trivial and probably obvious to many here. But after
decades of playing harp, I just
discovered that if you turn the harp upside down, you still make
exactly the same mouth and
tongue
motions to bend a note. So its really got nothing to do with
directing the airstream down even
though it kind of feels that way in your mouth. Doh!
