What harmonica has 32 holes?

Question

It has 16 holes on each row and contains two rows. What kind of harmonica does that make it?

Mr. Smartypants · Accepted Answer

An octave on a harmonica is 8 holes, right? Two rows, four blowing, four sucking. It's not a chromatic harmonica, right? It's diatonic. I know there are chromatic harmonicas but I don't think I've ever seen one and I don't know how they would work.

So a 32-hole harmonica is four octaves. It's a 4-octave harmonica.

So a 32-hole harmonica is four octaves.  It's a 4-octave harmonica.
