I'm wondering if you're kidding, especially since I can't think of why you'd think the airline would object to having a harmonica safely packed away in a carry-on.
i've travelled enough to know that the rules always change and never make sense. i felt it prudent to ask before attempting the impossible.
your off key singing would be perfectly fine, as long as the volume was kept within a short range of your personal space.
we feel any music, noise, etc that is too loud or too constant is simply pollution.

its actually a family play thing. we have introduced the world of music to the kids and they have taken to it. piano, drums, guitar, harmonica, recorder, and flute.
they practice nearly daily (we ask, never tell) and play songs by memory. we wanted them to keep their musical play up while we travelled for a couple of months. the piano wasn't coming!
