Harp players have a huge number of elements in this arsenal.  There 
are a ton of different kinds of harps (though I doubt most in the 
audience could hear the difference between brands or models of 
diatonics), including echo, octave, chromatic, diatonic.  On top of 
that there are amp settings for distortion and overdrive, plus 
effects (octave, chorus, reverb, etc.).  In addition, I've been 
migrating my microphones over to 1/4" adaptors so that I could use 
them on a guitar cord, and at SPAH I bought a cord from Tim Northcutt 
that has a circuit interupter so that I can switch mic heads 
silently.  

Versatility is everything,
