Does anyone know if there is a songbook available for low c harmonicas? Specifically, I just got a Marine Band 364 and, aside from Bye Bye Bird whose tabs are available on the internet, is there a songbook available for this?

Songbook

I don't know of a songbook specifically for the Low C diatonic, but you could use books that offer tabs for other keys or for diatonic in general.

Where the difficulty arises is where bends in Hole 3, and especially Hole 2, are involved. It is possible to get those bends, but it takes a whole new extension of your bending skills.

What is espeically unique on the 364 is the really wide blow bends available in Holes 11 and 12. I've explored using these, as did Charlie Musselwhite in his recording of Sleepwalk, but it's an area that I haven't seen written about.
