Help with The Blues Brothers re-enactment

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 1:41 am

For something at my highschool my friend and I are doing a re-enactment of "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" by The Blues Brothers.

For those with a great musical ear, I am asking what key harmonica Dan Aykroyd is using in the performance.

Thank you!

Dan Akroyd plays a Hohner Special 20, a variation on the Marine Band model.
The specific tone comes from it having a plastic block rather than wood.
See this link for Hohner: http://www.hohnerusa.com/

Edit -
Here's the link for the particular model: http://hohnerusa.com/index.php?8
Note that it comes in a highly varied array of keys and I've yet to find what key Elwood played.
But at least I knew which brand/model it was! :bunny:

Hope that helps
