At least one review site won't review recordings of Irish music that have 
Danny Boy on them!  :-)  Most people would play it in G.  
Diatonically-speaking, a Paddy Richter-tuned harp is best if you want to 
avoid having to get the 6th note in the bottom octave by bending.   I can't 
think of any harmonica recordings off the top of my head but there will be 
dozens somewhere I'm sure.  Somebody will come up with one.
