How do you treat harmonicas? EQ? Set it back, set it forward, reverb. . . etc!
If I knew what I was doing, I'd be dangerous!
Re: Harmonica
The boring but most appropriate answer is....it depends. Is it tracked close to the mic? In the room? Is the track too bright? Where do you want it in the mix? All this stuff requires different treatments.

Re: Harmonica
Alison, just have a go at recording it.
See how it sounds, see how it sounds in your mix, and post it up for us.
Then tell us how you recorded it, mic, what reveb/EQ you've used. Someone will give you a hand with it.

Re: Harmonica
Depends upon any number of factors = style of playing, style of song, room, intended prominence in the mix, microphones available - there's a world of difference between recording Piano Man style huffing and blowing and a screaming blues solo, I'd imagine.
More info = more help.
Re: Harmonica
I THINK you've received a track with harmonica.
Find and tame the harsh , honky frequency.
As to reverb - that depends on where you want it to sit in the mix.
Levels will place it pretty well with some reverb to settle it.
Use the same sort of reverb as you've used on other components or it will sound like it's "in a different room" to the rest of the mix.
