 I couldn't help thinking what the harmonica community's collective wisdom is 
on this thing. 
 What extraordinary feats of pyrotechnics does a split tongue offer on 
harmonica  ?
 Could make for some very interesting chords 'que no? 
 Please excuse me if this one has already been around block but I just 
couldn't help throwing it out

i've seen someone on tv who could move the individual...what would you call 
those?  well, the two forks of his forked tongue, i guess, in opposing 
directions...up and down.  
if you got control of the thing, you could have more than one split.  like 
say play a d-minor chord on a c harp (holes 4-8).  then you could block out the 
third and seventh and have a power chord type thing.  or if you had real 
control, you could hold a note on the left, and then do a flutter on the right.  or 
even two flutters. 
i think the possibilities of the split tongue and the xb-40 in tandem are the 
future of harp.  you read it here first...
