Funny how they often do that for album covers and such.  I'm of the opposite 
mind. Aside from the sound, one of the things that first attracted me to harp 
was the aesthetic of a diatonic's small size. Tightly cupped and completely 
hidden from view I was amazed that players could maigically get so much music 
from inside their hands. Looked way cool.

Speaking of large harps; Jason Ricci has a gag youtube where he 'plays' a two 
foot long store display harp. I'd guess his movement of the prop is more 
convincing that what Winslow saw on the "Oh Girl" vid.
