Well, at :24 there is an E followed by an Eb, and both notes sound simultaneously.
Overdubbing, effects, or custom tuned harmonica?
There is no Eb on an A harmonica.
Not that I would ever contradict the harmonica world's most interesting man.

Yes, overdubbing. Ennio Morricone (and Georgio Maroder) are know for it. Oh, and lots and lots of echo. :)
Yes, there is no Eb on an A diatonic. But this was done on a chromo. By Franco DiGemini who was/is a flute and piccolo player with the morricone orchestra.

Correct. Hole #6 slide In (F#) starting point. Can also be done crossed on an A diatonic. Riff is in D.

You can do the riff with a diatonic but wouldn't be able to duplicate the E/Eb splice. But I think a little judicious use of echo will 'snowjoberall' a reasonable facsimile.

No, Smokey-Joe is not the harmonica world's most interesting man..he is the most unforgettable character you will ever meet.
