Re: Bending a note

Fun to do is the "xylophone" style rips up and down the overtone series--most players can rip up easily, but going down cleanly can be a challange--"slowing down when going down" seems to help. Sergey Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet has a nasty lick involving some quick slurs from high c down to e. Scary.
