Why not use a G-harp? The scale is the same as the G major scale, so all the notes are built in.

I !!think!! You're in a Dorian. (a-b-c-d-e-f#-g-a)? 
It lays out on a c harp, especially if you can get the second f# with the
five over-blow. 
Just because of where I am right now, I'd use a c chromatic, but you
certainly wouldn't have to do that.
Good luck!  It's a classic!

my guitar guy and i have started working on the song "badge", by cream.  i
can more or less play some of it on a D harp in 2nd, but am having a hard
time playing the two signature riffs.

so i wondered if anyone has any insights into how to effectively play this
on harp (positions, etc), especially in the context of an acoustic duo.

as always, insights into the process you use to figure this kind of thing
out are welcome.

you can hear it at:
