How many Tips of the Day have we had on bending... I lost count!... there's tons! Why? It's one of our most challenging techniques on the harmonica. If you had the mistaken impression that the harmonica is easy to play this technique will set your straight. Use the knowledge you've gained from the understanding of the physics of bending to where the tongue is located in your mouth and what part of the tongue humps up for each pitch found in each hole. Add to this the patience and tenacity that it takes to master the harmonica and you're on your way!
