If I gently "break in" my harmonica, will it last longer and be easier to play? How long should my reeds last anyway?

There is a long established piece of advice that states if you play your new harmonica very gently when it is new, that it will somehow extend its playing life. I know of no reliable evidence to suggest that there is any truth in this. However, this does not stop people going though the ritual of playing them gently for the first week, or even going to the extreme of holding them out of their car windows as they drive down the road, letting the wind "loosen up" the reeds - which to me just sounds like a good way to get bugs in your harp! The most often used explanation is something like "Well, when you get a new car you have to drive it gently for the first few miles, before letting it rip." This is true, but it has very little relevance to how the harmonica works. Car engines have lots of parts that come into contact with each other and everything needs to settle into place in order to work together optimally. A harmonica has free reeds that vibrate in an airstream and they do not (unless there is a problem with the harp) come into contact with other components. Here is a better example - if you take a brand new saw and only cut balsa with it for the first week, will it last any longer when you start sawing up oak with it?
