This should be a simple short answer question for guys who know more about doing harmonica tunings of the more drastic flavor.
What I'd like to know is when I tune a 3 blow up two piano keys, let's say from G to A, is it normal for the 3 draw to then lose then double bend to A and the triple bend to G#? Seems like the single bend to Bb sticks around. Seems that while I make, in this case, the A easier to hit I'm making the G# disappear. Is this the normal effect when this tuning is done right?
Thanks for your time.

Yes that's normal. The notes you obtain by bending are the notes between your blow and draw. Between A and B there exists only Bb/A#.
An overblow on 2 will give you the the missing G#/Ab.

Nice, thank you! I can manage overblow 4,5, & 6. I suppose if I do this setup I should learn 2 overblow & maybe 1 while I'm at it, lol.
