TB - Blow Bend
Wed, 07/16/2014 - 11:03
Hi Mr. Barrett-
I can't seem to figure out how to blow bend using the TB embouchure. But I am very comfortable with my draw bends. Could you share some tricks/tips?
Thanks!

Thanks for the tips.
I was trying to get it to sound on a C harmonica before. :D
The lowest harp I have is a Low F, I will give it a try tonight.

A Low-F will do the job. Yes, the C Harp would be very difficult. Good luck with this.
The key is to control the bend very far forward in the mouth, using the part of the tongue just behind the blade. Use a very small embouchure at first, even with the poor tone it brings... as you begin to develop control, you can then focus on tone. Give it time, and use the lowest harmonica you have in your set. I used my Low D for a month, then Low E, then Low F, then G, then A, etc.
