Thorsten,
Way to go on scoring Ian Gillian's harp (of Deep Purple)! I have an original (1972) LP of Deep Purple's Machine Head, and consider Lazy to be a pretty cool tune. But, IMO, not enough harp work by Ian (then). I'm sure that like most of us that were beginning harpists from that era (yours truly), he too is a much better player now.
I would guess that he was playing either a Hohner Marine Band or Blues Harp on Machine Head (?recorded late '71?), which also contained the now classic Smoke On The Water.
