There is nothing in Walter's entire repertoire that can't be
played on a standard Richter tuned diatonic or a chromatic in third position
(Dm on a C instrument)

Says you!
  Even Tom Ball will tell you that this is not true.
He even includes a lick (#37) from "Ooh Baby (You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm
Gone)" which was played by Little Walter on a key of G Hohner Koch.  And it
requires use of the button.

I'll also point out the original concept of the XB-40 was based on a
modified Koch.
