I have an old Hohner Harmonica "Song Band" Tremolo Tuning but not sure of date. JP.

I don't know what Bob used - but I can tell you that if you are looking to start playing harp then you should definitely check out Lee Oskars... beautiful tone and they are smooth to play on. I have to imagine though that back then he was playing on some type of Hohner.
The harmonica has captivated admirers of folk rock and blues music for years. Because of the instrument's simplicity and affordability, many aspiring musical artists choose the harmonica as their first instrument. Unlike the saxophone or clarinet, it's instantly easy to get a seemingly decent sound out of a harmonica. There are a number important things to consider when learning to play this instrument.Listen FirstBefore running to the music store to buy an instrument, it's important to become aware of the many different styles of harmonica and the genres of music that embrace the instrument. Obviously, many blues bands have harmonica players, so be sure to listen to blues recordings that contain harmonicas.Most music students know that in Bob Dylan's early folk years, the harmonica was a huge part of his sound.Although Dylan's sound was much different from the work of blues harmonic pioneer Little Walter, Dylan's harmonica work is worth listening to. Willie Nelson's band still includes the harmonica of Micky Raphael. This style combines folk, blues and country. Listen to recordings of as many harp players as possible. The style you prefer will quickly become apparent.Visit the Music StoreFind a music store with a knowledgeable and helpful salesperson. Explain your style preferences and check out the harmonica options. The most common harmonicas are made by Hohner. The "Marine Band" model is one the most famous and widely used. It is also reasonably priced. Have the salesperson explain how harmonica keys work. This is important because while experienced players can use a harmonica for a number of songs with different keys, beginners will have problems with this task. Next, purchase the harmonica!Start to PlayListen to a tune that includes your harmonica style. Match the proper harmonica to that song. If you are playing a blues tune, for example, and the song is in the key of E, you will need to use a harmonica in the key of A. As stated previously, the music store salesperson can be a great help with these issues. Now try and imitate the sounds on the recording. After a while, you will realize that you can actually play some of the notes heard!Practice and Practice MoreThe harmonica is a simple instrument, but complicated harmonica licks and are common. Start simply and progress steadily. No one ever became proficient on any instrument without serious practice. Play at least one hour a day and the results will be amazing.
the good kind GIBSON haha i think ^ The above comment is not totally accurate ^. He used a Gibson for a very small period but he predominantly always used a Martin & Co guitar throughout his life like the D-35 model

Fork and knife. LOL!! The harmonica was invented in Germany...so the harmonica. Also, the accordion, bagpipes, and the German fiddle. I know there are more, but these are the ones I know.
To play Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" with a harmonica, all that matters is that the Harmonica plays the G note. It is unimportant if it is a 16-hole or 24-hole harmonica.

As you know Billie Joe Armstrong is in the band Green Day with Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. Billie plays guitar and does the vocals for the band, but he has also been seen playing the piano, the sax, mandolin, harmonica and also the drums.
On "Don't Box Me In" Stan uses a chromatic harmonica. You can see it in several YouTube videos. Don't know the brand though.
I don't know exactly what you are asking. But your hand can vibrate the harmonica with a sort of fluttering motion.
