: : I have a Hohner tremolo harmonica and I want to know if I can bend with it. I tried many times but it doesn't worked and I want to know if I need some more practice or if it simply can't be done.
: : Also I want to Know if anyone has found a site which is oriented to tremelo harmonicas.
: _______________________
: Tremelo harmonicas don't bend. Stick with the standard diatonic type to bend. I have never seen a site oriented to tremelo harmonicas, but if there is one, it would be listed somewhere at www.harmonicalinks.com.

: Good Luck,

Hmmm. You've asked a very important question my friend! Yes-Tremelo's to some degree can be bent,
yet attempting to do so would be the same as bending a chromatic(they're both structured similarly). I've bent tremelos before, for it's an exhaustive thing to try and get the hang of,
since it's not likely that anyone has the lung capacity or the throat muscles to accomplish it successfully, and both have to be involved in doing it.To bend a tremelo you have to re-learn how to bend completely, re-learn how to turn the harp in you mouth. It's very difficult, but hey,
if you really want to accomplish it, I wouldn't discourage you from practicing it. You might get
lucky and get famous!
