Specific introduction of bending

Generally, a ten-hole harmonica has a * * feature, that is, there is no F(Fa) and A(La) in the bass part and no B(Si) in the treble part, which is specially designed for harmony. Players can still use the bending technique to play the missing scales.

Bending is a technique to change the natural pitch of harmonica by using the changes of some muscles in the mouth, such as lips, tongue, oral space, strength, airflow and even throat (generally lowering the sound), but it is not unique to harmonica, such as stringed instruments such as guitar and violin, and some electronic instruments. Most of the techniques of the ten-hole harmonica are related to bending. It's hard to practice, but it's worth our great efforts to learn! Generally speaking, we mainly focus on the study of inhalation pressure and blowing pressure, and you will notice that standard pressure usually lowers the pitch.
