CHROMETTA 8 (250C) BY HOHNER

The Chrometta 8 is a two full octave chromatic harmonica that is easy to play, small enough to carry in pocket or purse and has an extremely nice sound. It is perfect for someone who is just transitioning to a chromatic harp and still perfectly viable as a solo instrument or to use in a group.

For those who do not understand the workings of a chromatic harmonica, it is a harmonica that one can not only play the diatonic scale, but can also play sharps and flats making it possible to play the full chromatic scale. The sharps and flats are activated by a slider operated with the right thumb while one is playing. If you are a diatonic player who plays either 2nd and/or 3rd position, you can do so with this harp and use the slider to fill the notes that you lose on a diatonic.

This really is a low cost excellent value chromatic harp and once mastered, will make it easy to transition into the larger models
