To make one yourself, retune draw holes 3 and 7 down a whole step--leave the blow holes as is.
Then the other plate is retuned like so:
tune draw holes 3 and 7 down a half step, and blow holes 1, 4, 5, 8, and 9 down a half step. Blow holes 3 and 7 are tuned up a half step. All those are the button notes--that's where the big differences are on this instrument.
you should try playing guitar ..much more fun. but what u did with tht harmonica is pretty neat :)

That draw with the button in sounds like a bVI7 more than diminished...to me anyway.

Plenty of views, but no comments--so allow me!

It's not chromatic anymore--but it is cool!
