The Hohner Orchesters of that era weren't natural minor, they were 
harmonic minor.  The first natural minor harmonicas I ever played were 
Lee Oskars. I did have 4-5 keys of the Orchesters previous to that.  I 
actually still have them.  I should get the plates installed on a more 
user friendly stable platform.  If I recall correctly the LO Nm 
harmonicas were available from the get go and if Steve says that was 30 
yrs ago I won't argue.  Clearly they pre-dated the video clip.  fjm
