I ordered a configured chromatic harmonica from Seydel, configured to play like a Chordomonica I. It is interesting and fun to get so many more chords and a few new notes. This makes many songs possible. For instance, I stumbled through "White Christmas". I'll start a thread in the "Around the Campfire" section, once I have learned a few songs well.

Does anybody have any songs notated for Chordomonica I or know of any sites/material that might help to learn more about it?

You could try to play Wiggen with the Chordomonica. Whiskat’s problem were the tune’s chordal arpeggios on the tonic, dominant and subdominant chords, but they should be easily playable on the Chordomonica. (A score in D can be found on the Session’s website. Which key is your Chordo in?)

Et qui suaviter canere non potest, sibi tamen aliquid canit.
And he, who cannot sing sweetly, sings nevertheless something for himself.

I had a chordomonica I and a II. The II is quite an amazing instrument if you want to spend some time with it. You can play In The Mood with it and it does the uhweema wup uhweema wup in The Lion Sleeps Tonight, also the 50's standard slow tune chord progression of C Am F G. Many, many songs used that chord progression.

The older I get the more I know how little I knew when I knew it all.

I use a G and a C harp. The G provides G and D chords. The C provides C and G. Sounds better than playing it all on one harp because the song is slow and stays on chords too long to fake them.
