> What do you find is a good key diatonic harp and what concert key
>would/do you use to play the classic Take 5 ?

This question came up a while back on harp-l. I play it on a natural minor
harp. Needs one overblow - hole 5, but as it occurs straight after 5 draw,
it is very eaier to slip it in. Plus, using the nat minor, yu get full
chords that you can't get in any position on a regarul tuned harp. I
usually play it in its riginal key of Ebm, but if I am feeling kind to my
bass player, I sometimes play it in Em.
