D harp bending hole 6
i am working on the Strut and just one note eludes me.
For some reason I cannot get the 6 hole bend in chorus 6 measure 9. In fact that whole chorus is quite a challenge. When attempting the bend I can get it fine in a pucker embouchure but, fortunately, I have become almost exclusive TB player.
So switching just to get that note is most inconvenient. Although in attempting blow bends that's what I have to do. Any suggestions on this one problematic issue on the D harp? Lower keys for this note are not an issue.

Taking all your great instructional advice, lots if practice and experimenting, today the 'sweet spot' showed itself. That is a tough one to get. Now to keep practicing it so it shows up in the strut at the correct spot.
You will know when I submit LOA4!!!
thanks for the encouragement.
Great!
Hello John. You need to use more of the front of your tongue, further forward in your mouth. Experiment with a "ch" position while trying that tongue block bend. By the way, working your 6' on the D Harmonica will help you with your blow bends too... the 8'+ is the same note on the G Harmonica.
