Russian born, Fred Zimbalist (1909-2003) was an accomplished harmonica player.  sources:  Ancestry.Com and SPAH, Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica. 
Related to Ephrem Zimballist, Sr. (the famed concert violinist), he founded the Zimbalist Music Box Company which operated out of Cleveland, Ohio.
He is known for these highly prized and unique Nickel Silver plated on brass pieces that were hand tooled and engraved in India (though often similar, no two were exactly the same).
