The 64 Chomonica by Hohner features a exacting designed slide button that enhances the full range of your harmonica.

There are 16 holes allowing 4 octaves! With a Chromatic Harmonica, all accidental notes (sharps and flats) are immediately available by pushing in the slide button. Each single hole contains four reeds; two natural tones and two chromatic tones are enabled by pushing in the slide button on the side of the harp. Most chromatics are solo tuned, meaning each group of 4 holes completes one octave (inhale for one note, exhale for another). With 16 holes there are 4 octaves starting with one octave below middle C. The slide button adds the "black keys" of the piano, by changing the full tones to half steps. The Hohner 64 Chromonica will give you the right note. 16 holes produce 32 notes with the slide switch adding another 32 notes for 4 compete octaves including accidentals, With this feature you can play in any key, with any accompaniment, and even solo over all of the octaves, and even change keys. And you can read music with this harp. You will find the best musicians using chromatic harmonicas.
