I recently purchased a Hohner "Big River Harp" (harmonica.) It is the key of C. I need to know if it is a chromaic or diatonic harmonica. Im not sure what either of these are. Help???
A diatonic doesn't play sharps or flats without technique. A chromatic has all the sharps and flats. A chromatic has a button on the right hand side that when pressed in plays the sharps and flats. The 'Big River' is diatonic as far as I know.

Diatonic and chromatic.
Chromatics have a lot more holes.
