Harmonica "break in" is a myth.  The metal of the reeds cannot improve with 
gentle playing. Metal is not analogous to muscles.

However, if the "break in" puts you in the habit of playing gently, that can 
indirectly benefit the harp.

See http://www.patmissin.com/ffaq/q8.html for a detailed discussion of the 
subject.
