Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The advantage comes with whatever playing style you have!. If you are playing jazz, you are most def!. going to want to play a chromatic harmonica, while diatonics are better suited for blues and folk, simply because of their tuning differences!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The biggest advantage should be that the diatonic harmonica is easier to be controlled and can play many music styles flexiblely!.

Listen to the Irish and bluegrass music at http://www!.harmonicatunes!.com/hear!.shtmlWww@QuestionHome@Com

with Diatonic you don't have to know how to play, and all the notes sound good and are in the scale!. Chromatic is every possible note, so you have to know what you're doing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
