Hi Guys just wanted to know if you guys know what key the song is in? Possibly D Minor?

What key and position the chrom is? (is it a Normal C in 3rd)

I know its a Lee Oscar Natural Minor Diatonic labelled AM but is a retuned D harp playing in 2nd position.

cheers

Aminor makes sense to me. I was playing along on a C diatonic and C chromatic.
I used to always play it in 3rd, but lately I like 4th.
I never tried to play it in second before, although I just gave it a whirl and it's ok although probably not so great in this key.
But with one of those LO natural minor harps it's probably ok playing 2nd in this key.

Lee Oskar natural minors are labeled in the second position key, so an Am nat. IS a D harp with 5 flattened reeds - check here.

I'm no expert but for me Summertime just plays itself in 3rd position.
Sometimes i wonder why we didn't all start on third rather than 2nd.
