Can someone please tell me which Chromatic harp William Clarke was playing in the classic Blowin Like Hell song...i.e. how many holes on the harp, the key, and possibly the brand? Thanks.

It's a B-flat harmonica--not the full size 64 Chromonica, I don't think, but a slightly smaller model. I'm no expert, but I loved that song so much when the record [sic] came out that I special-ordered that chomatic. Ended up giving it to Jason, I believe.

Just found the one I had on Amazon:
