Why is it called Marine Band harmonica?
From the historian of the US Marine Band:
"The Marine Band has never featured a harmonica player....Many years ago the Hohner Company had been naming their various different harmonica models after famous personalities. In 1896 they created a new harmonica and named it the Marine Band. They were apparently hoping to cash in on the fame and name recognition of the Marine Band to boost interest in their new instrument. It has been their most popular model since their founding in 1857."

What type of harmonica did Buddy Greene use at Carnegie Hall?
Hohner harmonicas. He has his own web site; http://www.buddygreene.com/, where he goes into great detail about how he re-tunes his instruments or has them done by someone else. I asked the performer through his web site contact and was given this reply: "The first song of the Classical Medley is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach, played in 1st position (key of C).The second song is based on Mozart's Sonata in C, Movement 1 (although here it is played in the key of G, with lots of bending). The third song adapted from Rossini's William Tell Overture, back in 1st position (key of C) with some high blow bends at the end. I played a C diatonic harmonica, probably a Meisterklasse or Golden Melody, both by Hohner" Bending is done by how hard or soft the player inhales or exhales across the reeds of the instrument while using their tongue to cover specific holes or by cupping the tongue while inhaling or use of the throat to achieve the note desired. This is difficult and hard to master.
What songs can be played on diatonic harmonica?
A diatonic harmonica can play up to three octaves by using a playing technique called bending; it can thus be used to play any song. It is mostly used to play folk, country and of course blues music.
Despite it's toy-look diatonic harmonicas are quite difficult to fully master and require musical theory knowledge and exercise.
