[Harp-L] Muting notes

[Ronnie Schreiber <autothreads@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was talking to my son, who plays some metal guitar, and he told me 
that with some songs he's banging hard on the strings and almost 
immediately muting them with the palm or heel of his hand.

The led me to wonder about harmonica. Do any of your really proficient 
players ever find yourself having to mute a note? If so, what's the 
technique you use to stop a reed from sounding?
