[Harp-L] Tremolo Harmonica Bending

[Tony Eyers <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There has been a thread on tremolo harmonica with an unlikely title. 
I've re-branded it here.

The discussion has been about whether bending is feasible on the 
Tremolo. Winslow claims that it is. I'm sure he can do it convincingly. 
I can't, controlling a bend on two reeds simultaneously is beyond me.

I think it's a moot point however. The Asian players (the bulk of the 
tremolo population) don't bother with bends. Instead they stack multiple 
instruments, and skip between them to get notes normally obtained 
through bending. This isn't a party trick. They all do it, the good ones 
with amazing dexterity.
