	The Diatonic Harmonica Reference
		The harmonica lets you play chords as well as single notes, and the chords are easier to get than single notes.
		The word "bend" implies a continuous pitch change, but bends on the harmonica do not have to be changes from other notes--in other words, a bend as an altered note can be played separately from other notes, and the natural note need not be played at all.
		Achieving good tone on a harmonica requires resonance, and tuning the vocal tract to the note being played.

		The unrelated glass harmonica is a musical instrument formed of a nested set of graduated glass cups mounted sideways on an axle and partially immersed in water, and played by touching the rotating cups with wetted fingers, causing them to vibrate.

	DIATONIC HARMONICAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The reeds of Diatonic Harmonicas produce the notes of the scale to which they are tuned.
		For example, a diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of C would produce the natural notes of the C scale without sharps and flats (picture the white keys on a piano, without the fl keys).
		On this style harmonica, only the higher pitched of the two notes from any given reed cell can be bent and then only to a point somewhat above that of the lower pitched reed.
