If anyone is interested I will be going to the states early next year. It would not be a problem at all to bring back some harps. Please let me know what brand and what keys.

A good way to think about bending a note is like having a good long sip on a beer, just imagine whistling in reverse and you can bend in any key.

...cool!!!

My version of this is: Imagine that you put a spoonful of hot rice in your mouth, then you try to cool it down by lowering the floor of your mouth by inhaling some air.  :lol:

Nabasa ko lang din yun sa isang article sa internet bro. Learning how to bend is a "must" for blues players...

BTW, i think the harmonica is the "sexiest" instrument. Just look at the different terms related to harp playing:
-suck (draw)
-blow
-bend
-holes
-cupping
-tongue technique
-and many more, hehehe...
