Chromatic harmonicas traditionally come with 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 holes.
Also Available Digitally
The hole chromatic is available in any of the 12 keys, but C is the most common key used by professionals. Chromatic harmonicas, which have a side button for producing semitones, are designed so that, like a piano, they can play every tone in every octave. For those seeking their first chromatic harmonica, a hole in the key of C is highly recommended. This is the most common, with 3 octave ranges of 48 tones.
Harmonica Beginner Sheet Music & Song Books
This harmonica comes in different keys and is relatively easy to grasp and play. There is a wide range of chromatic harmonicas from different makers, such as: Bigger than the hole chromatic, this has an extra octave below middle C and demands a lot of practice before you can gain familiarity with its full range.
It is short and very portable, and the same as the hole chromatic but the note layout ends at different points as a result of the incomplete octave at the top. Again, the larger size requires more time for practice and familiarity. Tremolo harmonicas have a cool sound like an organ but they are much less common in use. They are also limited in many ways that the diatonic and the chromatic types are not. Hands down, the diatonic is the best type for beginners.
But, whichever harmonica you choose, have fun! Man, the article has been of great help!. Thanks man for the page.
Chromatic Harmonica Tommy Morgan – csemi
I was just reading youre page when i noticed you said that the tremolos are limited in many ways, could you please tell me what the are? Also a long shot i know but i dont know what key the harmonica is in, or can it be played in any key i fancy. Thankyou very much for the write up its been most useful. Wow such a helpful article. It will be much more helpful if a picture was put out for each type of Harmonica though.
I am 80 years old. I have owned and played both diatonic and chromatic harmonicas. I prefer the chromatic although bending notes is more difficult. The article touches on a variety of types but does not adequately describe a chromatic. A photo of it would help. A true lover of d sound of ds Instrument but m a novice beginner.
Dont know d exact product 2 start wth. Plz, i really need ur help. I m counting on u. But you learn two or three moves a class, two or three classes a week, weeks become years, and white belts turn black. So now the harp. Actually pull off some single notes now! So the world will suffer while I become average! JP Thanks for your encouragement about playing in public. I understand that some people are purists and think only those with great skills should be in front of an audience.
Keep up the great work. Chromatic harmonicas are widely used for playing classical and jazz music, and also for pop, funk and blues. Famed musician Stevie Wonder created a wonderfully distinct style of chromatic harmonica playing. JP, hearing comments from a veteran player like yourself were inspiring to me. Also, your simple approach to continued learning and improving your playing was also something I appreciated in hearing.
I always look forward to your emails. Thank you so much for your feedback.

This has been a life dream of mine to use the harmonica to inspire people to bring music into their lives. When I was a kid, had some bad musical exeriences that were really challenging for me and I try to stear people away from missing out on the joy of music by encourageing them to check out harmonica as a first instrument…. I picked up the cello at age 11 and quit, because it was too difficult for me.
Then shortly after, I picked up the piano and quit that as well. Both instruments seemed to difficult and I left feeling frustrated and hopeless….
I shortly after started playing guitar, singing, writing songs, playing drum kit, bass, and guitar … and my latest joys these days are playing the shakuhachi flute and beat boxing. It has been an interesting balance for me. I want to fully respect and acknowledge the professional harmonica players who have taken this instrument to mind-blowing heights and impressive levels of expertise. At the same time, I want to let the world know that if you want to get into music, harmonica is one of the greatest instruments to help open that door.

So I want to acknowledge the harmonica both as a full-fledged professional instrument and at the same time celebrate it as one of the greatest folk instruments ever invented for getting people to actually freely enjoy expressing the spirit of music through them with this massive little inspiring instrument. You have a beautiful philosophy. I have been dabbling with harmonicas for over 40 years and they are great. I especially like the double sided Echo types. Thanks for this excellent information. Hey great incouraging saying up there. There is nothing else to say but thank you!
Attitude is everything and believing is magic! I work alot But…. I know veteren players who still have a hard time with these techniques. So, not done the course yet, but having a beer at the local pub, I let slip my plan. Within 10 minutes the publican gave me a harmonica, that he got as a promo from a drink coy. Such open fun co-operation is lovelly. I started and stopped playing harmonica so many times over 20 years that I have a box full of beginner instruction material.
Finally I found time in my day to dedicate to harmonica, and have been practicing and playing steadily for three years.

Though I no longer consider myself a beginner I still did three years ago I like to go back to that box periodically, take out material, and go through it again. Three different methods of teaching, but all focusing on the basics first, and lots of enthusiasm and support.
Another thing I like to do is go back to the songs I first learned to play, and play those over and over again. Thanks for the gracious comments. Glad to know my material is useful. I am a big believer in simplicity. Something played simply, but with sweet tonality, musicality, and good taste is so much more powerful than just soulless technical displays of virtuousity. Keyes — why not mention your CD as well? Like the book, the CD is also available on EBay. Both are available individually or as a package on http: I played bassoon for six years and as a senior the junior, sophomore, and freshman all held higher chairs than I did.
It became so frustrating that I looked forward to my last concert and chose not to pursue my dreams of becoming a composer. Practicing playing blues no easy task on the bassoon instead of classical music may of had something to do with it.
