Hohner's chart starts this harp on G3, a fourth below middle C. On the blow: G, B and D. Drawing on holes 1 to 4: A, D, F sharp and A, a D chord. Blues in D is therefore played in 2nd position, starting from hole 2 draw.
Below G, Hohner only offers harmonicas designed for low keys, such as the Marine Band Thunderbird or the Rocket Low. The Big River in G remains the lowest of the standard models.
