Hello,  I am pretty amateurish when it come to music and harmonica.  I am teaching myself acoustic and the harp off and on as time and interest allows.  I had a buddy of mine as me to prep to play along in a song 1 year from now.  11 months 29 days by Johnny Paycheck.  The problem I am having is I think my Harp is in the wrong key.  I have been learning cross harp on an A Major Diatonic Lee Oskar harmonica.  The holes I play sound close but not quite right.  I haven't played in some time now so my harp might need the reed replaced holes 8-9 sound a bit rough.  I'm am just needing help on if I have the right key of harp or not.  PLEASE HELP!!  Any advice will be welcome.

Here is a link to the song.

I am just looking for the key this song is in.  Or can anyone identify the key the harmonica is?

Hey Snowman,

Take your "C" harp out and give it a try. I just did and it was pretty cool.

Playing up in the higher octave. Using a lot of the 7B 8B and also 8B'
stay up high. It was pretty cool.

Thanks for sharing.
