Play hundreds of awesome songs
Unlike other small and portable musical instruments (jaw harp, kazoo, and slide whistle, we're looking in your direction) the Little Lady mini harmonica packs a full eight-note C-Major scale into its tiny frame, so you can play tons of songs.
Yes, you can play the main riff to Piano Man by Billy Joel. Frankly, being able to bust out that riff anywhere you go is worth every penny of the Little Lady.
With eight reeds, the Little Lady Harmonica boasts a full octave in C Major.
Here are a few other ditties you can play on this little gem: Jingle Bells, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (aka the Alphabet Song), Mary Had a Little Lamb, Hot Cross Buns (from piano class, remember?), Batman theme song, Superman theme song, Jeopardy! theme song, Low Rider, Spring from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi (to show off your sophistication), Sesame Street theme song, Love Me Do by The Beatles, Deck the Halls, etc. There are hundreds of great melodies that only use one octave in a major key.

The first musical instrument played in space
On December 15th, 1965, astronauts aboard the Gemini VI played "Jingle Bells" on a Hohner Little Lady Harmonica. The actual one used on the flight is now housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
Brought aboard Gemini VI, the Little Lady became the first musical instrument played in space.

With its keyring attachment, you can!
