RiB--right you are about harmonica racks being torture devices: almost every time my harp has grabbed a hunk of my moustache it has been in a rack (playing with two hands you can kind of protect the edges of the harp so you don't get all caught up in one--lately most of my harping has been with the banjo in a rack and both hands protecting the facial hair; I don't want to lose it--I may have it transplanted to the top of my head some day.... --seed
