It always saddens me to hear people focus on the harmonica's limitations. All instruments have strengths and limitations. Being able to express the sounds in your head on your chosen instrument is what separates the true masters from everyone else. This is not to say we shouldn't experiment with effects or other ways of manipulating sound but I think we sell ourselves short when the starting point is the instrument's limitations.
