It's a blues in Bb!
You decide harmonica/position! Easy stuff.

OK, here we go.
You can use an Eb harmonica and play in second position.
You can use a Bb harmonica and play in first position.
You can use an Ab harmonica and play in third position.
You can use a Db harmonica and play in fourth position.
You can use a Gb (F#) harmonica and play in fifth position.
You can use a B harmonica and play in sixth position.
Hope that helps.

Well I was afraid that I didn't have the right harmonica. I do have a Bb, but that is tricky to play a 1st position blues scale upon isn't it?
I do have an A, C, D, F, G but that would be in a high position, which I am totally unfamiliar with.

It ain't all about "the blues scale" to play blues on harmonica. However, you can get all the notes of the blues scale on the top octave.
The only blues scale note not easily achievable on the bottom octave in 1st position would be the minor 3rd.
