In the past (example: Hee Haw) He was careful to hide harp switches.  
Now, he doesn't mind.

p.s. I have a video version by Eddie (flash) Gordon. It is 13 minutes  
long and he makes the harp sound just like a fiddle AND a train while  
he uses a violin bow in the crook of his left arm. I consider it a  
collector's item. Also check out Mike Stevens.
