Bands Featuring Harmonica

Chromatic Harmonica | Belly Boat Music

I just recently got a 12 hole super chromonica M Hohner crhromatic harmonica and I am having trouble finding my notes can someone explain to me how it works ?

Your harmonica is Solo tuned rather than Richter tuned. It would be difficult to explain the note arrangement in this forum but follow the link below. Page 6 should give you the information you are seeking. If you can’t get into the Solo tuned instrument and still want a chromatic try the Hohner Koch Chromatic or the Slide Harp; both are Richter tuned so the note arrangement is the same as a Hohner Marine Band or Special. The Slide Harp is more expensive but a little easier to play because it is partially valved.

Just don’t give up too soon, the Chromonica is a great instrument.
