The blue harmonica looks like one of those plastic covered Hohners that are diplayed in a fishbowl on the display counter in music stores. If you order one separately (away from the fishbowl) they come with the clear plastic wrapper. They are all in the key of C and come in a variety of colors. I think they cost less than $5. they are the same harmonica as the Piedmont, sold in sets of 7 of different keys for about $20 in a zippered case. The main weakness is that the covers lack rigidity and don't seal against the reed plate as well as a metal cover plate would. They are frequently used as company giveaways. I think SPAH used red ones one year.
