David, is possible to play some of the beginning Chromatic lessons with a C Diatonic?

I am working a little with the Strut with a new D Harmonica and I am actually finding it is easier to bend. I know you said some Harmonicas would be more fit for each person. I practice playing all of the songs with all of the Harmonicas. I am feeling different muscles. You have to shift gears to feel it.

I watched your Chromatic lesson and it looks cool. Next month I can get one.

Will
