Diatonic Harmonica
Keys: G, Ab(G#), A, Bb, B, C, Db (C#), D, Eb, E, F, F#, High G, Low D, Low Eb, Low E, Low F, Low F# and Country Tuned in all 12 keys
The reeds of Diatonic Harmonicas produce the notes of the scale to which they are tuned. For example, a diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of C would produce the natural notes of the C scale without sharps and flats (picture the white keys on a piano, without the black keys). Each hole has two reeds; one plays when breath is exhaled (blow) and the other when inhaled (draw). The individual reeds are each tuned to play a different note on the scale.
