When you use regular blowing and drawing techniques on a diatonic harmonica, it will produce, at most, seven notes of varying pitches. However, it is possible to play all of the notes of the chromatic scale on a diatonic harmonica by using bends (see How to Play Bends on the Harmonica).

How do you play in different keys on a harmonica?
To play in different keys on a harmonica, we just have to make some other note as the tonic. To play in the key of G on a C harmonica (cross harp), we would have to start and finish all the scales on the note of G and play G chords. (Draw notes 1, 2, 3, 4 make up a G chord!) So, the G note would be the new tonic.
How do you play G on a C harmonica?
To play in the key of G on a C harmonica (cross harp), we would have to start and finish all the scales on the note of G and play G chords. (Draw notes 1, 2, 3, 4 make up a G chord!) So, the G note would be the new tonic.
What key is C major on a harmonica?
On a C harmonica, the lowest note is a C note (hole 1 blow). The C note is the central pitch, the natural tonic. Therefore, this harmonica can be said to be tuned in C Major. There can also be other ways to determine the key of harmonica.
Is this harmonica tuned in the key of G?
Such harmonicas have been made. Should we say that this harmonica is tuned in the key of G since the lowest note (hole 1 blow) is now a G note? Well, the blow chord is still in C, and the scale is still a C major scale. So, we can still call it a C harmonica and the extra hole makes very little difference.
