Hey David,
I think a "Fleet" of harmonca player sums it up nicely.
But you could also go with a: ...raft of harmonica players; or a ...bevy of players, or an ... array ... a brood ... a clan ... a cluster ... collection ... compendium ... confluence ... crush ... crowd ... crush ... drove ... flock ... flood ... horde ... mob ... multitutde ... nest ... pack ... pod ... press ... school ... swarm ... rabble ... throng
................the list goes on...

bevy, brood, clan, collection, covey, crowd, crush, drift, drove, flight, flock, gaggle, gathering, hoi polloi*, horde, lot, mass, mob, multitude, nest, pack, people, populace, press, rabble, school, swarm, throng

Hmm, David Naiditch smartly raises (and resolves?) an important issue:
What's a plurality of harmonica players? David's "gaggle" may be it, if perhaps a bit too aptly suggesting honking geese.
Is there a better plural? Herd of harmonicists? Pack of harp players? Slew of harp suckers? I suspect the fleet of febrile minds on this list-serve may have a peck of plums to offer . . .
Absent a better suggestion, I vote for gaggle!
