You find reed instruments harsh and hate the sound of the harmonica, so I would like to know what instruments you do like?

Yes, Most reed instruments sound terribly harsh to my ears and it's
one of the biggest reasons that I play the way I do. I'm seemingly
cursed and blessed with the harmonica an instrument that I can't stand
on many levels but like many great relationships there is a heavy does
of love and passion.

Um, have you listened to Johnny Hodges or Ben Webster lately?
Not to mention Cannonball Adderly on "Kind of Blue"...
