Standard 10-hole harps come in keys. For example, a harp in the key of C will blow a C chord when you exhale through 3 or more holes.
But you can play other keys on a C harp by distorting or "bending" the reeds. If you play in G on a C harp, you are in 2nd position; D is called 3rd position; A is 4th position, and so on.
'Upper' doesn't really add any information, since all the A blues scales on a C harp are are in the higher notes, but other positions can play 2 or 3 octaves.
