#TIL that blowing vs sucking the same spot on a harmonica produces notes that are roughly a half-step apart, while adjacent blown/sucked notes are roughly a whole step apart. I always wondered why I couldn't play any melodies on harmonicas because there would always be some notes I just couldn't find no matter how hard I tried, and now I know the answer isn't some tricky block-holes-with-your-tongue technique like I used to think.
I always knew blowing vs sucking produced different tones, but I thought that they were whole-step transpositions of each other such that any note in one modality would appear somewhere in the other.
My wife showed me this fact and when I asked where she learned it, she said she just figured it out herself...
