yeah...the only problem I have with the electric heating pad idea, is that  
most often when my chroms are ice-cold and 'popping'  I'm nowhere near a  
socket (to plug in)...or when in the car...or a Lobby jam...and the idea of  
having to move a hotel's heavy sofa or loveseat to go searching for a socket 
 would be counter-intuitive to improv-ing, or moving around from place to 
place  the way we usually do.  Cords also trip people. Danny's use is more 
for an  on-stage or room situation ...or playing when one is sitting down or 
standing in  one place. The heating pads do work well....just aren't optimum 
for me.
 
If you have something battery powered which also protects the chromatic,  
you're already ahead of the game. I prefer the portability of the hand 
warmers,  and suppose the pouches I designed are somewhat akin to the 'sock' 
concept,  except with the ability to wear them over the shoulder or across the 
body.  I'm now working on little sleeves to keep the hot packs separated from  
direct contact with the chromatic.  Who  knows? If I get ambitious  enough, 
I might just start making my chromatic pouches for friends ;)

Do they still make heated  socks that use a 9-volt battery ?

I did a quick Google Search, but  couldn't find any that use a 9-volt 
battery.

Why 9-volt ?

If you  have effect pedals and use a 1-Spot multi-plug, there is a 9-volt 
adapter plug  available (also comes in the combo-pack) that you could use 
instead of the  9-volt battery.


OR just take a regular sock, put your chromatic  harmonica in it, tie it on 
your belt, and tuck it down the inside of your pants,  and use your body 
heat to keep it warm.

Works great, but you might get  alot of strange looks, especially when you 
wear shorts!
