Well stated Tom. I am sure this is just Chris' opinion, he has a few.

This is my opinion also, pure conjecture though it may be.

I would eliminate most pros from the ranks of OOTB (out of tune benders) or 
the IC (intonationally challenged) However, there is a large percentage 
(safer statement--more PC) of beginners to intermediate players that are 
OOTB/IC.

Of course, the diatonic harmonica is the most difficult instrument in the 
world. (next to double reeds, theremin and ocarina)

OK, OK----IMNSHO!!!!
