Shake off dust or crumbs accordingly or blow them out. Store the harmonica in a dry place and in the harmonica box.
Choice of the key:
To play the “cross” common among blues musicians, you should use a harmonica whose tuning is a fourth above the key of the piece being played. The following table gives you an overview of which harmonica fits which key:

Choice of the key:

Key of Song| C-maj| C#-maj| D-maj| Eb-maj| E-maj| F-maj| F#-maj| G-maj| Ab- maj| A-maj| Bb-maj| H-maj
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Key of the harmonica| F-maj| F#-ma j| G-maj| Ab-maj| A-maj| Bb-ma j| H-maj| C-maj| C#-ma j| D-maj| Eb-maj| E-maj

The tones of the harmonica:
The technical term for the “sound channel” is “comb”. The comb consists of ten tone chambers. On the following diagram you can see all available tones of a diatonic C major harmonica.

chamber 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
exhale C E G C E G C E G C
inhale D G B D F A B D F A

The main playing area is located in the 4th to 7th chamber. On a C major harmonica, this corresponds to the C major scale. Since the ratio of the notes to each other is always the same on diatonic harmonicas, i.e. only the pitch changes, the complete A major scale would be found here, for example, on an A major harmonica.
