 (Richard Hunter/harmonica: Buckeye State 1999
It was immediately apparent that the vast majority of the students wanted to focus on blues, not surprising given the heavy preponderance of blues-oriented teachers.
Chris was able to hit all the pitches on target (at least to my ears), but every bent pitch started with a slight "coughing" attack that made it obvious when the technique was being used.
Chris asked me at one point, "Why would you not want to have that stuff (overblowing) if it's available to you?" The answer is: because it doesn't sound that great to me, at least not in large doses

 Harmonica techniques - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hole 3 allows for the most dramatic bending: in C, it is possible to bend 3 draw from a B down to a G#, or anywhere in between.
In the 1970s, Howard Levy developed the "overbending" technique (also known as "overblowing" and "overdrawing".) Overbending, combined with bending, allowed players like Chris Michalek, Carlos del Junco, Otavio Castro and George Brooks to play the entire chromatic scale.
When bending, the player forces the lower of the two reeds in a chamber to vibrate faster, while the higher pitched reed vibrates slower.

I don't think the lack of clutch hitting would have mattered in the end, not with Reds pitching giving up seven runs, but it's just pathetic to have so many baserunners and only two runs in a must win situation.
