They all have a dedicated slot in my harp case so I know where which key is.

If it ain't broke you just haven't fixed it enough ...

Turbo Harp has little light up stickers you can get, but it looks like they aren't available yet. (They say as of 2/20/10 they expect to ship in 2-3 weeks. They are $9 for 3 of them.)
Turboharp Stickers
Some people just paint them on. I have some Piedmonts in less common keys that I've worn the paint off of. I have to hold them just right to get a glare off of what's left. My Lee Oskars are the easiest. They've got the key on one end, the cross key on the other and the key again on the front. Nice silver on black. My Seydel has a little sticker on the end that shows up all right. I wonder if Seydel sells the stickers?
Yes, yes they do!
Seydel Stickers
(And the include the Key of H! $8 for 5 stickers for each key plus some extras like low and minor.) They are on transparent foil and come in black or white lettering (your choice).
Huh, I think I may pick up a set.
Edit: Ouch, they want $6 for shipping to the U.S. I'll have to see if I can find a cheaper way or wait until my next real order.

I use one of those white-out pens and paint them on the back left--then store the harps face down in my case in alpha order. The white shows up in dim club lighting.
It helps to rough up a little section before painting the letter on--I just use a little piece of 400 grit sandpaper. This job needs to be repeated occasionally.
I used to decoupage computer-printed letters on--it's more permanent--but harder to read in dim light. . .

Kyzer- That's the funniest idea I've heard in a long time. Do you think they are loud enough to be heard in a club situation? Maybe you could combine it with the light up ones from Turbo.
If someone really really really wanted to go overboard you could put a barcode on them and use a barcode scanner!
Oooo... OK, how about for a case you put one of those new iPads as the lid and use it as a lyric/music teleprompter! And you could read the harmonica keys by the glow.
