Re: [Harp-L] Bending blow notes

[Ben Bouman <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It also works on draw notes, I use 9 draw ( almost) semi-tone bend more and more. 
It requires a gentle approach but I feel it is useful.

I recorded a sample ..here you can hear the drawbends on a A harp, on hols 7-8-9 , played in a shirt lick.
