Select a Key

Choose the key your harmonica is tuned to. Most beginners start with a C harmonica. You can find the key printed on the cover plate or on the box.

Diatonic harmonicas come in all 12 keys. Each key determines which notes are available when you blow and draw through the holes. Choose your key above to see position charts, scale diagrams, and note layouts tailored to that harmonica.
