Bob Dylan Harmonica's

Post by Frederik Meesters »

Hello, does anyone one which type of harmonica's Bob Dylan mostly uses?

Diatonic I guess? And in which tones?

Thanx for replies :)

This book has transcriptions of Dylan songs, mostly for 10-hole
diatonic. Couldn't tell you the brand he used, though.

This is an interesting couple of pages listing the keys of harmonica
(and position used) for each song on Dylan's Greatest Hits CDs:

As for the brand, from film clips they look like Hohner. I would assume they were, but this is only a guess based in part on the time period. There wasn't too much to choose from back then. Hohner pretty much cornered the market then.
