Chromatic harmonicas tend to be significantly more expensive than their diatonic counterparts—with a typical chromatic harmonica selling at a price that is up to ten times higher than a simple diatonic harmonica. Chromatic harmonicas produced by reputable companies (such as Hohner, Seydel, [7] and Suzuki [8]) range between 70 and 700 US dollars.
Hohner Super Chromonica, a typical 12-hole chromatic. The chromatic harmonica uses a button-activated sliding bar to redirect air from the hole in the mouthpiece to the selected reed-plate, though one design—the "Machino-Tone"—controlled airflow by means of a lever-operated flap on the rear of the instrument.
Solo tuning is a system of choosing the reeds for a diatonic wind instrument (such as a harmonica or accordion) to fit a pattern where blow notes repeat a sequence of C E G C (perhaps shifted to begin with E or with G) and draw notes follow a repeating sequence of D F A B (perhaps correspondingly shifted).
Richter tuning is a system of choosing the reeds for a diatonic wind instrument (such as a harmonica or accordion).It is named after Joseph Richter, a Bohemian instrument maker who adopted the tuning for his harmonicas in the early 19th century and is credited with inventing the blow/draw mechanism that allows the harmonica to play different notes when the air is drawn instead of blown.
The Seydels started out as Miners in Sachsenberg-Georgenthal (modern district of Klingenthal) working as miners since the 17th Century. When mining stopped in Vogtland, Saxony, in 1830, brothers Johann Christian and Christian August turned their trade to musical instruments. 1838 Johann Christian Seydel founded the company "I. C. Seydel", where he and his brother worked together.
