 My experience is that it is the studio producers that want "harmonicky". They help perpetuate the icky into the publics' ears.

The audience comes with lower expectations - in other words, they are used to hearing icky, but are totally open to whatever you want to try. If it sounds wonderfully different, the listeners love it - comments including "I never knew a harmonica could sound like THAT". 



Do audiences WANT and 
EXPECT the harmonica to sound "harmonicky"?   As I get farther and farther away 
from that sound, do I risk alienating listeners by not meeting their 
expectations for what a harmonica SHOULD sound like?
