blow bends and TB

Hi David.
I've started looking at blow bends, trying to follow your advice to tongue-block them if you're new to blow bends and tongue block all the rest. I'm finding that getting full-toned puckered blow bends is no problem, although accuracy will take quite a bit of work, but that, when I tongue-block, I really have to seriously restrict my air flow to get any kind of bend at all, and tone and volume suffer. Is it worth it?

Hey ungar...I am experiencing the same thing. My blow bends are difficult to nonexistent when I tongue block. However when I pucker I hit them much more convincingly. So for now I pucker and perhaps someday down the road the tongue blocking bends will work themselves out.
There are advantages to staying in a tongue block, but it's up to you which you choose.
