Hi can anyone help me out with some research.
This fantastic track has superb harmonica from a French Player called Vincent Butcher.
Is this mainly Diatonic, 3rd position?
or some Chromatic, and is there any 5th position or something else?
Song is in Bb. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

cheers Ed

Hi Ed. Aye that is a great track indeed. Never heard that before. I'm pretty sure the whole track is played on an Ab diatonic harp in 3rd as you rightly point out. If you use your Ab harp and think in 5th..C..you'll find those licks and runs will work just fine as well mate.

Can´t watch the video: "not available". But I´m pretty sure his name is "Boucher" if we´re talking about the same guy.
