 ya gotta remember that in the early mid 1800's in Germany, oom pah/teutonic/hurdy gurdy was the POP MUSIC OF THE DAY. Harmonica was created to play the TOP 40 tunes- popular amongst the masses.

Oom Pah, baby!  Many years ago I learned the richter-tuned diatonics were great 
for what I call oom pah, Dr. Payne says teutonic, some say hurdy gurdy, or organ 
grinder music.  I have always felt that was what they were basically designed 
for.  And lil kids love it!  With the right  monkey it pays for spaetzle, too.
