I'm glad you found it on youtube. I had no idea it was there. Crazy video,,

Very surreal,,even the lyrics,,very surreal,,

Yes, it does appear to be an "A" harp in 1st, on the high end. But the lower
bends sound like a "D", in 2nd. You can get those low notes on an "A", but
somehow, it sounds like he's switched to a "D" in 2nd, from the sound of the
notes.

I couldn't get it at first, because after blow-bending the 9 hole, when I
went to the 10, and it started out bent, it didn't sound like the right
note, until I backed off on it some, and discovered that it was, in fact,
the 10. In fact, I thought it was another hole. I'm not at home up there
yet.
