    Each hole has a blow note and a draw note. However, you can press in the slide button and raise the pitch of both notes by one semitone. So if you have a chromatic tuned to the key of C, it becomes a C# chromatic when you press the slide in.

    higher in each hole. Thus, the instrument is capable of playing the 12 notes of the Western chromatic scale
