Harmonicas play havoc with the tuba embouchure. I won't be able to play the tuba for several hours after playing the harmonica. (This will only work if the harmonica piece isn't last on the program.)

My favorite harmonicas are those that have that F-attachment thing on them... Or is it called a fifth valve...??

Perhaps some 1920’s technology to the rescue?

I'm trying to carry on a serious discussion here, and you guys are just being silly.

If you don't calm down, I'm going to summon the bike guy.
