At a gig the other night a group of girls who had had a few said 'let's have a look at your harp's' and then they helped themselves and started tooting before I could tell them the rules about look don't play.
If I get a virus or one of them sores Sparrow's got, I'll know why...

I know someone who carries really cheap harps to his gigs to give to the insistent drunks.

I never had anyone go in my harp box or pick up my guitar onstage. I also won't play bars anymore that cater to those kind of idiots. I played lots of those places in my younger days, but nobody messed with my stuff. I guess growing up in newark, nj, had its good points- I learned early on how to carry myself in way that people didn't mess with me..... Walter

Give you a good excuse to clean em. The harps, I mean.
Also consider: they wanted their mouth where yours was. This is a call for asking for phone numbers.

Amen! Nothing like a drunk who just has to play and is
feeling vibe to play. I usually cover up my harps between sets. I alway keep my chromatic in my pocket
to keep it warm and I don't want my 2016 to walk.

Only had one such incident. Some six-tooth drunk was reaching for my case and I grabbed him by the shoulder and asked him what he was doing. He said, 'Lemme try, I can do dat chit!'. I put my thumb in the soft spot on his neck above his sternum, applied a little pressure, and told him, 'How about I just cut out the middleman and spit in your mouth?' He backed up real quick, and the bouncer, who saw the whole thing, walked him to the door ever so gently(not) and called him a cab. Good times.

This post relates to this past Saturday night. A guy came up to me after the 1st set and said he was learning to play harp. He did politely ask to see my harps, so I showed him my G/M I had modified.
He looks at it and the ask if he can play it.
I snatched it away and told him it wouldn't be any diffrent than kissing him cause he was just swappin spit with me.
He gives this funny repulsed look and says naw I don't want to kiss you.
I said my point exactly, I don't want to kiss yopu either.
Lesson learned, don't go showing off your harps around drunks and straingers.
@ diggs, I'll cover my harps from now on, good idea.

Even if it's a girl you wouldn't mind kissing, if you let her try one of your harps it will forever taste like lipstick--which is actually not very pleasant.

That's true - out of the women I've known, only one ever wore lipstick. It looked good but tasted like shit. Also when I was knew to the harp I bought some honey lip balm, but the smell of that is vile and it too stays in the harp forever.
