{"id":460,"count":25,"description":"Hohner chromatic harmonica<\/strong> was invented in 1924 and has since then created and developed many chromatic harmonica models.\nThe basic principle of the chromatic harmonica is to blow to get the notes C E G C (a C major chord) and then Draw and get D F A B (a Dm6 chord).\nThis is very similar to the diatonic harmonica<\/a> but where it differs is that the chromatic has a slider. When you push the slider and blow or draw at the same time the original note is raised by a half step. So for instance on Hole 1 a C becomes a C# when you blow and when you draw and push the slider the D becomes a D#.\nThe chromatic harmonica<\/a> is also symmetrical by nature, the first octave is exactly replicated to the second and third octaves making it easy to repeat patterns or scales from one octave to the next. Something that is much more complicated to do on a standard diatonic model.\nHohner chromatic harmonicas come in 10, 12, 14, and 16 holes<\/strong>. The most commonly used chromatic harp is the 12-hole and covers 3 full octaves. The 16 holer is usually found in Blues and mostly Classical music where the extended low octave comes in handy to play violin parts.\u00a0\nSome 12-hole models like the Chromonica 270 and the CX12 black are also available in other keys such as C, D, Eb, E, F, G, A, Bb, and Low C or C tenor.\nEven though a chromatic harmonica in C is enough to play any tune, scale, or arpeggio in any key, some beginners or intermediate players find it challenging to master all the patterns and scales<\/strong>.\nInstead of learning new patterns, they often prefer to reuse the familiar ones by playing in other keys on specially tuned chromatic harmonicas.\nHarmonica players who made the chromatic harmonica popular are Larry Adler, Toots Thielemans, and Stevie Wonder.\nHere is a list of Hohner
