I've also found that once you have established a musical tone, you can
cycle through frequencies by waving the harp around - side to side across
the speaker, and pulling away from it.  Kind of like feedback arpegios.
Great fun, especially with a ton of echo.

If you ever get the chance to hear David Michelsen play, and he has his
little monster amp with him (an early prototype Harpmaster 100), get him to
do his "tribute" to Jimi's version of The Star Spangled banner.  A truely
awesome display of controlled feedback on the harmonica.
