Hello David

I am totaly new to the harmonica. I purchased a hohner chromatic c 270/48 (as recommended by the seller). I am trying to follow the introduction lesson to c. However, I figured out that the numbering on the notes are not correct for my harmonica. Do you have a transformation table which I can readily use?

Thanks, Ya
