Ok I know Seydel and Lee Oskar list the key of their Minor Harps in the actual minor key example I use Lee Oskar Am harp for All Along The Watchtower which is played in Am but is (I think) cross harp. Now I see Musicians Friend has the minor tuned MB's are they listed the same or in 1st position? It doesn't say in the description

Hohner Minors are named after the first position, both the Harmonic and natural minor versions.

I just had Hohner minors for a while and then bought a Lee Oskar in the wrong key. I didn't realise some Lee Oskars are named in second position.

So if I would normally get an Am (2nd Pos) if I want the same Harmonica in Hohner I would need an E?

Hello Bluzdude. I just got back. You would have been right, the Hohner Em is the one to buy to play Am 2nd pos.
