How to read the tab
- Numbers are hole positions, 1–24, counted left to right along the side you are on. ↑5 means blow into the 5th hole; ↓6 means draw on the 6th.
- On this harp blow and draw are separate holes, alternating along the comb: odd-numbered holes blow, even-numbered holes draw. Hole 5 blows middle C, hole 6 draws the D just above it. This is why the two rows in Hohner's chart are drawn offset from each other.
- Because of that alternation the same pitch can appear twice next door to itself — hole 2 draws G3 and hole 3 blows the same G3.
- blue is the C side, amber is the G side.
- FLIP TO G means turn the harp over. A red flip marker means there is barely time — expect to practise that transition on its own.
- A dashed underline marks a note that had to be changed: either moved an octave to fit the harp, or swapped for a neighbour because the original pitch does not exist on this instrument. Hover it to see the original.
- cover 5–9 under a note means put your mouth across holes 5 to 9 and blow. The opposite-breath holes in between stay silent, so you get the chord without having to isolate individual holes.
