The models in question are, no doubt, the Hohner 364 and 365.

I have an old 364S. Solo tuned. Don't use it a whole lot.

length of reeds doesn't have the biggest influence on ability to bend, at least not on these models.
How low the notes are is likely to be a bigger factor. When you bend, you tune your mouth to the note you want. Most people have trouble creating a big enough mouth cavity for the really low notes.
A secondary factor on super-low harps - and by that I mean harps lower in pitch than Low C - is that more and more of the total length of the lowest reeds is given over to the thicker diameter that adds weight to the reed and slows it down. This makes the reed harder to budge and less pliable, which may have an effect on its ability to sound lower pitches than the default tuned pitch.

Ok,models 364,365.I have a vintage 364 in c.When playing regular 10 hole diatonics a G is lower than a c.My question is,does this hold true with these models.I want to buy a new one but I want one that's easier to bend in the lower reeds.

harponica the 364 in G that i have is the same as a regular G harp for the first ten holes.
The harp is as easy to bend as any other good quality G harp.
