    (Michael, I just read your post. Dave is right one is 10 hole the other is 
    12 hole).
    
    You're right Dave. The 270 is a twelve hole - 3 octave chromatic.
    (The 260 has 10 holes - 2 1/2 octaves). Both start at middle C (if they 
    are C harmonicas of course). They are available in some other keys. 
    Construction is essentially the same on both models. Wood comb, reed 
    plates are nailed onto the comb. Both are good quality instruments.
    
    P.S. There are no ignorant questons. This list is for everyone, whatever 
    your level of harmonica expertise.
