Chromatic harmonica as well as many others, to be played–a benefit for various musical styles. Another tuning is minor tuning for natural and harmonic minor Im and IIdim normal position. Chromatic harmonica The chromatic harmonica is a type of harmonica that uses a button-activated sliding bar to redirect air from the hole in the mouthpiece to the selected reed-plate desired. When the button is not pressed, an altered diatonic major scale of the key of the harmonica is available, while depressing the button accesses the same scale a semitone higher in each hole. Thus, the instrument is capable of playing the 12
Hungarian minor scale indicates a half step, and + indicates an augmented second (the latter of which is enharmonically equivalent to a minor third but is notionally distinct). The scale contains two augmented seconds, one in each tetrachord. It also contains an augmented fourth (which is enharmonically identical to a tritone) between the first and fourth degree. Intriguingly, this scale (and its modes like the double harmonic scale) is the only seven-note subset of the equally tempered chromatic scale that is "perfectly balanced"; this means that when its pitches are represented as points in a circle (whose full circumference represents an octave), their
