On the Sandford theme, It's a big ol' harmonica, likely a chromatic. Some of the top studio harmonica guys used chromatics because of their flexibility.
And, on the SD, yep, bass through a fuzz box. Takes the place of baritone sax in a lot of late 60s style rock/pop arrangements. (Not that this is such an arrangement, although the role of the bass is similar.)

Now I need to know what kind of instrument is at 0:00
Is it some sort of electro-mechanical keyboard through some distortion and an envelope filter?
For a modern harp master, folks might want to check out Bill Barrett, a virtuoso I met in the Long Beach scene (we worked in the same record shop for a day).
Bill is a master of chromatic harp -- he's been a featured soloist with no less than the LA Philharmonic.
Here he is with his variable-lineup band, Hazmat Modine...
