Chromatic Harmonicas 

Chrometta Line

Chromatic harmonicas for all requirements

The first chromatic harmonica was developed by the Hohner company in 1910 and introduced in 1911 in their harmonica catalogue. Since then, we have it established and further developed and still set the standard for this instrument line.

Chromatic harmonicas enable the player to perform music of all keys on one instrument. At present they consist of two diatonic harmonicas in one, tuned a semitone apart - for example 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, all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are available over several octaves, depending on the number of holes provided by the size of the instrument.
