       In 1987, the Yamaha DX-7 harmonica sound was everywhere, including in General Motors training videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ialv-uI9XA

       @vwestlife The DX7 had some great preset sounds, which was just as well:https://chaosfem.tw/@ellieraejaye/116437410978154216

       @vwestlife Clearly I don't have as musical of an ear as I like to think - I never would have thought that to be anything but a real harmonica, or similar.Also, what is with training videos and infomercials that make themselves look like talk shows.

       @themaritimegirl It doesn't help that music videos and even some "live" performances (singing to a backing track) would show someone pretending to play the real thing, while actually playing the DX-7 harmonica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc8wmLul3uw

       Meanwhile, Dodge couldn't afford a DX-7, so they just used an AdLib card. The announcer doesn't sound that impressed, either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4-AU5oZo0U

       @vwestlife the announcer isn't impressed because he's probably a car fanatic himself.

       @vwestlife I don't see the similarity between harmonicas and training videos.
