I wonder if we use the same belt.  A couple years before I started 
playing harp, I came across a cool surplus leather cartridge belt at 
Banana Republic (way, way back when they were a "Safari Outfitter") with 
5 pockets and a little metal clip hanging off one end.  I got it just 
'cause it was nifty, and finally found a use for it when I needed a way 
to carry all the tin sandwiches I started to accumulate.  To this day it 
makes quite the impression, and is a great way to keep harps within 
reach when on stage.  The clip even makes a great place to loop the mic 
cable through so if anyone steps on it, I just get a tug on the belt 
instead of having my  crystal bullet mic yanked out of my hands.

I keep the harp keys in alphabetical order along the belt, and can 
always find what I need in a hurry.

I still pop one in my mouth upside down, though...
