Hello all. I have just purchased a Hohner Chromatic. I'm lost trying to find the BASIC beginner lessons. I can play simple songs on my diatonic./Thanks ron0

which side is the shiny side?

David, the first chromatic lesson seems a challenge for me. First, does one hold the chromatic with the choke in the right hand. Secondly, it is a C harp so do I begin at the fourth hole like I do with my diatonic?
Sorry for being such a dunce. Thanks, Ron0
