 Most chromatic players who play a C also play Gs (and any other key 
they wish). This is generally done to either get chords, or do certain 
articulations that can only be gotten (correctly) by adjusting at the 
'harp' end. It helps to read music as G will result in the following:

Key you are using       key you are following       resulting 
(terminal) key
G                                 C
