Hi Steve,
  Having met a number of living gigging harp players who do this on a
regular basis, I can easily believe they did exactly that back in the
day... especially when the harmonicas were significantly cheaper, even
taking inflation into account.
  I've learnt over the years that "human nature" is extremely variable
depending on who you talk to.

Cheers,
