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.
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.
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.
