OT !!! You'll be tired of the harmonica for life after even a few seconds of this one...

By far the best instrument from which to render this 'tune'.

While you'd never share one, a roughly equal amount of dry air goes in as wet air goes out. You do get a build up of dried mucus where the mouth slides across the holes. I'm a reasonably competent player. Some of mine which I still play are Hohners from around WWII - the older ones have the star of David embossed on the cover. The combs - the internal airways - are made of pear wood which seems to last well, though modern plastic combs are probably more hygienic. -- Cheers Clive

ISTR real wood in there, so likely Pear as was their custom. I wish I still had it. Used it to ship weed back and forth around the country there for a bit. I used to used a gutted hard drive chassis for quite a while. The X-ray machines are a lot better now though. I wouldn't risk USPS or taking a flight with one in my bags. Probably get mistaken for explosive media. Sure blows my mind, man. :-) FedEx and UPS are safe now because they move so much so fast they do not have time to inspect things. Just thought I'd sing some blues for a second...
