Stevie Wonder plays a Hohner Chromatic Harmonica. He mostly plays the Super 64x chromatic which i recentally bought and it is amazing. The quality of sound of smoothness is incredible. I would recommend it to anyone playing the harmonica.
think original movie track can be played with a C harmonica but the faith no more version is played on keyboard. not sure if is all in one key. In the sound track it was played Toots Thielemans on a Key of C chromatic harmonica. I believe it is in the Key of C but with a flat, but is transposed for other instruments in other keys. in the 12 hole Chromatic harmonica it starts with 5-,5-,-4,3 you should be able to go from there.
The Koch chromatic was a very cheaply made model from Hohner, they took over Koch to eliminate the competition. I have seen used Koch chromatics going for $15.00 used with no box. I bought one with a box in almost perfect condition with the original books on how to play the harmonica for $30.00 on E-bay. The new ones sell for about $80.00.
There is a dedicated young man who is a virtuoso harmonica player in both the diatonic and chromatic harmonicas by the name of MaestroPhil. Through his thorough knowledge of music he has mastered the instrument and made a name for himself worldwide. All the eyes are upon him in the harmonica world because of his dexterity, clarity and extraordinary use of bends and rhythmic anomalies. Maestrophil is considered by Harmonica Player Magazine as the best ever and is a member of their Hall of Fame.
A diatonic harmonica can play up to three octaves by using a playing technique called bending; it can thus be used to play any song. It is mostly used to play folk, country and of course blues music.Despite it's toy-look diatonic harmonicas are quite difficult to fully master and require musical theory knowledge and exercise.
One can purchse a Chromatic harmonica at any large music retail store, such as Yamaha. One could also look on Amazon. Currently there are 33 sellers of chromatic harmonicas on Amazon.

A Harmonica has one reed for each hole it has. For example, a Diatonic Harmonica has ten holes, ten pitches, and thus ten reeds. Longer reeds have lower pitches. The reeds tend to be metal. If a reed bends, the corresponding pitch will not work.
A chromatic harmonica has a button on the side that allows the player to access all the notes in the Western musical scale, including sharps and flats. A diatonic harmonica, on the other hand, is designed to play in a specific key and is more limited in the range of notes it can produce without bending or overblowing.
