Piezo pickups would make sense - aren't they just mini crystal elements?
Dunno how effective it would be though.

No - I've used headphones plugged into a mic input though.

Well, unless you put the pickups inside a harmonica with steel reeds, it ain't gonna work. Guitar pickups work as a magnetic field is disturbed by the vibrating string - but as for THAT idea, yes, someone has done that - saw it at SPAH. An electronic harmonica reed plate, with real reeds, that actually sensed the reed movement.
