I'm not sure how we could apply this technology to harmonicas, but it's pretty awesome. Maybe microphone shells (or even microphone stands, or would that be too over the top?)
I believe it is an example of the Guitarist and Harmonica player relationship....Oil and water. http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/swirlpaint/swirlpnt.htm

I've been wondering about composite covers. The most comfortable covers for my lips that I have ever played on were Piedmonts. The problem is, they mute the sound terribly. I've wondered if it would be possible to put a plastic finish over the top half of a metal comb- sort of like dipping a strawberry in chocolate. You leave the inside of the comb exposed metal, so hopefully it reflects the sound well, but the outside is nicer on the lips. That idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while. If you combined it with this technique, you could paint the covers first, then cover them with a clear plastic. It would protect the finish and give you a pretty neat looking harp. ---------- Nate Facebook Thread Organizer (A list of all sorts of useful threads)
