Well, I'm looking at my Hohner Super 64 Chromonica and notice that the word 
harmonica is nowhere to be found on it, or the box that it came in. Hohner 
Chromonica 270 is on the box for my 270 which does say "Super Chromonica 
Chromatic Harmonica" on it's cover. I think I'll start using the word 
chromonica, and if someone asks "What tha #*$% is a chromonica", opportunity 
knocks :0)

Peace and music,
