	The true question is not what he is playing but whether he plays
that CX-12 as a chromatic or a diatonic? Does he use that big fat lever or
not? Does the Brendan Powers adapted or altered harp allow him to play it as
a diatonic and not use the lever? What do you guys think?

Apologies, Greg. I meant to post this yesterday to Rosco--but posted  
instead on the youtube affirming that Ken (AirMojo) was correct that it was

indeed a CX-12). You can clearly see the instrument at 2:01/2:02 in the
"Like a  
Hobo' video as Ben holds it out top side flat towards the camera. You can  
actually see it a bit earlier: at 1:22/1:23 as the camera points in over his

 shoulder towards the mouthpiece...and again around 1:38 he holds it again 
in  that flat top side up towards the camera showing a piece of (masking?) 
tape on  top (designating the key?)---but 2:02 gives the best view of the 
full chromatic  and its big fat button, unmistakable to those of us who play

them.

He switches around the 2:56/2:57 mark to a diatonic--which was my holdup.  
Originally I thought it might even be a tremolo. 
 
 
You can clearly see the switch and the earlier CX-12 if you full screen and 
 freeze-frame, clicking forward a frame at a time (on the bottom left  
arrow). At first I thought it was a GM, but 'could' be an 1847 since  he did
a 
video August, 2010 explaining that he'd been playing them for 'a year  and a

half'. So the diatonic I can't pin down, but the CX-12 I'm absolutely  
positive about since it's clearly visible and the sound is obvious to my
ears. :)
 
Best,
 
Elizabeth
