• Answer:

  16 holes are rather uncommon. If you have a big harmonica with a button, the HarpOn website will get you going. http://www.angelfire.com/music/HarpOn/in... If it is a tremolo, no problem. They will work just fine. You can look up the note format on www.coast2coastmusic.com The rest of my citations should keep you busy for a couple of years. If it is a chromatic, and you are not a musician, be forewarned that it is hard! No problem, you can get a good diatonic for $30 sent to you with an online purchase.
