Chromatic Harmonicas

The chromatic harmonica is a type of harmonica that uses a button-activated sliding bar to redirect air from the hole in the mouthpiece to the selected reed-plate desired.

Chromatic harmonicas are usually 12, 14 or 16 holes long. The 12-hole chromatic is available in 12 keys, but because the entire chromatic scale is available by definition, most professionals stick with the key of C—which is perhaps easier to remember, since slide in will automatically be the sharps of the associated note. In the standard 12-hole chromatic in C, the lowest note is middle C, while 16-hole variants start one octave lower.

The Chromatic harmonica can be used for any style, whether it be Celtic, classical, jazz, or blues. If you're looking for a chromatic harmonica, you've come to the right place! There are hundreds of chromatic harmonicas for sale on the internet and we've got them.
