Nice analogy 'Slo
Useful chords that I get are:
(on a C harp)
DRAW: G13-- Draw G7 or G9 + BLOW Notes  E & G recirculating. AVOID the C 
(11th) in holes 7 & 10.

BLOW: Cmaj9-- BLOW GCE  plus B & D recirculating. AVOID the F (11th) in hole 
9.
On a nice freeblowing LOW D or LOW F, these chords sound really nice. They 
will not really work well with a cupped mic. Acoustic or mic on a stand work 
best.
