Product Description

Chromatic harmonicas are designed to play every complete scale in any key. Each single hole contains four reeds: two natural notes and two chromatic notes. The reeds for chromatic notes are enabled by pushing the slide button on the side of the harmonica. This design offers a wealth of new musical options to the player. Most often, chromatic harmonicas are heard within the classical and jazz scenes, but...chromatics are frequently found in blues, folk, rock and pop music.

This review is from: Hohner Chromonica, Key of C (Electronics)

I bought this harmonica for myself because i felf very limited with just 1 diatonic harmonica. My diatonic harmonica is in the key of C and could not play any sharps of flats. so i went out and looked at some chromatic harmonicas at ted brown music. i found that the price range was from $100.00 to about $250.00, the $250.00 one was the horner super 64, that was just too much for me. i found that i got a nice bright sound out of the wooden chromonica key of C. and it played a variaty of notes. so i went with it. Upon playing it i reaolised that it was unussually stiff and i could not bend notes AT ALL!!!! or it would either squeak or not play at all. i think i just have to break it in and it will be better than that. it would have been nice to have the addad low notes that are on the super 64 but i can live with going up an octive, it wont kill me. other then that it is an awesome harmonica and i am definately glad i purchased it. it also has a much bigger and fuller sound then the small diatonic harmonicas. Definately a bonus. :-)
