Default Harvest Moon - Neil Young?

I never played harmonica before, but I would like to know what type/key,etc
he uses at time 3:55 of this YT video. So I've got some learning to do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVi0UvFu8Yo

I play this in on my 12str on fret 3 in E,E/M,A7,G,D on standard tuning and
have that down pat. But I'm going for the max and want to include the
harmonica.

Thanks for the help.

Neil plays it in drop D.
Not sure about the harp - I'd guess, as it's not a blues, that it's a normal diatonic one in D (rather than blues cross harp in A) - but I could be wrong.

OK! If she complains you can always blame some idiot on the internet for giving you bad advice.

JonPR is right, Young plays it in drop D and straight harp in D as well ( I know because for some reason when I play live I always try to put this song in G so end up with the wrong harp in the holder 3/4 of the way through the song. Fortunately I'm part of a duo on this one and not singing so can fix my mistake-provided I realize it before that first off key blast of the harp!)
