can i bend a whole step bend on any hole on my diatonic harmonica?

i can bend half step on all the holes while drawing on the holes between 1-6.

i am trying to bend whole step bends but cant got it on all the wholes.

if someone can tell me which holes i should be doing whole step bends on i will be verry happy.

(:

thanks everyone

Basically, you can get a whole-step bend on the draw 2 and draw 3. You can actually (if you're really good at it) get a step and a half bend on the draw 3.
Draw 1, 4, & 6 are ½-step only. Draw 5, you can't bend...at least not without quickly killing the draw 5 reed.

Accordin' to my notes... just notes because I haven't mastered it...

On a C key harmonica:


you can blow bend holes 8, 9, & 10 one half tone. And blow bend 10 hole a full tone down.

you can draw bend 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 one half tone. You can draw bend 2 & 3 a full tone. And you can draw bend hole 3 one and a half tone down.

Yep. That's about the full list of what will bend and how far. I just focused on the draw bends, though. I had also figured that it might be self-explanatory that if a particular hole can bend a whole-tone, it can be bent only a half-tone, but then again, there I go assuming.
