 | Chromatic Harmonicas |  |  | | Chromatic harmonicas enable the payer to perform music in all keys on one instrument. They actually consist of two diatonic harmonicas in one, tune a semitone apart, EG in C and C#. The slide button is pushed in to switch the airflow from one to the other, thus raising the pitch of each note by a semitone.
By combining these two scales , all12 notes of the chromatic scale are available (some of them twice), which opens up a wealth of new musical options to the player. They are most commonly heard in classical music and jazz, but are also often used in blues, folk music, rock and pop! |
