Subject: 10 Blow 1/2 Step Bend.. Any Tips on Technique?

I find the 10 blow 1/2 step bend to be the hardest note to
get.. worse than any overbend on a well set up harp.

I find that for the 10 blow (full) whole step bend, I punch
it down with the front of my tongue, toward the tip. When I
let the bend slide up, the note moves steadily back until I
have to control it very accurately with the back of my
tongue, which isn't easy. It's very tough more me to move
right to that note and get it on pitch with any support.

Anyone have any tips on technique for getting the 10 blow
1/2 step bend? I know the ones about practice practice
practice...

Thanks,
Brassha'per
