What's exploitive about it?  A professional is being paid for
playing.  I wouldn't mind such a gig.

>What is it that makes the harmonica sell trucks?  Can someone

They don't.  But I'm sure you'll concur that the sound sure grabs the
viewers' attention, whatever the ad.

It soulds great to me!  Bring on the blue jeans!  the soda pop!   the
pork and beans!  Even saw a laxative ad w/ harp!
