vbmark,

Here is the order of standard harp keys from lowest to highest. I'm only listing the most common keys, you can fill in others.

G, A, Bb, C, D, F

But you can also get special harps like a low D which is a D which is pitched below the G, or a high G which is pitched above the F. Hohner SP20's come in these options.

I would imagine the C harp in higher in key than the A, Harp keys go from G to F Sharp, G being the lowest Key and F sharp the highest

Hello,

Ok, a possibly stupid question.

My present harmonica is in the key of A. If I get one in the key of C will the notes be higher or lower?

Thanks!
Mark
