For tunes in F and B flat
On this B flat harp, the blow gives B flat, D and F; drawing on holes 1 to 4 gives C, F, A and C, an F chord. Blues in F therefore starts from hole 2 draw.
From low to high, B flat ranks fourth among Hohner's 12 standard keys, one semitone above A. The harp stores in its plastic snap case, which Hohner calls a Snapcase.
