Phil: I'm one of those who thinks nothing of letting other people handle  
and check out my harps, especially at Conventions (people are always 
curious),  and yeah..I do realize a lot of people can be quite careless with their 
personal  hygiene...but...I also always carry with me those little 
individually wrapped  alcohol wipes (sold in boxes at the drug store). It takes a 
couple of seconds to  wipe down a harp after others have handled it or prior to 
playing.  
 
Problem solved.

One of the less obvious hygiene violations and most  common practice is 
passing a harmonica around to people to show the covers,  combs or reed 
assembly. 
Many people who wouldn't dream of sharing their  harps   (let other play 
them) readily let other people handle  them.

You don't have grab the restroom exit door handle without a paper  towel to 
pick up all kinds of germs. Just pass your harps around: You're  bound to 
find the guy who just sneezed into his hands or walked out of a  restroom 
without washing his hands. 

Hope this  helps
Phil
