In fact, I wouldn't qualify Led Zeppelin as prog either. I've been listening 
to a lot of prog lately, and I haven't heard any serious harp playing in any 
of the 70s stuff I heard. There may be some harmonica in some of the many 
Mike Oldfield records I don't own, but apart from that I can't think of 
anything. 

Leonardo, I'm afraid your friend will have to listen to prog without harp or 
ask me in ten years time when hopefully I'll be fronting one of these "prog 
w. harp" bands ;)
