1980s American Cars, Guns, Gadgets and Consumer Goods [Atmosphere, look, minutiae]

Harmonicas don't have fingering, so it's not really a close match for Sheng as described in LTC1. Closer to panpipes, as you select different pitches with horizontal motion of the instrument. But it's still a bit different as you've got the internal reed rather than having to form a stream of air to split across the flute opening. I might just make it its own skill, since it doesn't really match the characteristics listed for the other categories.

Default to saxophone? Looking at the existing ones, probably -6. It's as different from a sax as is a flute, and not nearly as close as the horns are to each other at -4.

Classic blues instrumentation includes the guitar and piano, as well as the harmonica and drums.

Dixieland jazz will bring in trumpets and trombones, clarinet, tuba and/or string bass, and maybe the banjo.

Cajun folk music will throw in the fiddle (violin) and accordion.
