The most common key available for a chromatic is key of C, the same as the white keys of a piano.
A key of C chromatic harmonica is a satisfactory instrument in itself.
As the reedplate tunings are generally the same as diatonic short harps, to get the full chromatic three octave range you need to know how to at least draw bend to fill in the missing notes.

  Chromatic scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term 'chromatic' is understood by musicians to refer to music which includes tones which are not members of the prevailing scale, and also as a word descriptive of those individually non-diatonic tones.
The chromatic genus contained a minor third on top and two semitones at the bottom filling in the perfect fourth of the fixed outer strings.
As tonal harmony continued to widen and even break down, the chromatic scale became the basis of modern music written using the twelve tone technique, a tone row being a specific ordering or series of the chromatic scale, and later serialism.

 Twelve-tone technique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chromatic scale may be mapped onto the circle of fourths with M5, and the circle of fifths with M7.
A simple case is the ascending chromatic scale, the retrograde inversion of which is identical to the prime form, and the retrograde of which is identical to the inversion (thus, only 24 forms of this tone row are available).
As such, twelve-tone music is usually atonal, and treats each of the 12 semitones of the chromatic scale with equal importance, as opposed to earlier classical music which had treated some notes as more important than others (particularly the tonic and the dominant note).

 Future of the Harmonica
However, on the chromatic harmonica, all the chromatic notes are available as normally blown notes, and therefore their tuning is inherently accurate.
Where the chromatic loses out to the diatonic is in sheer gutsy tone and expressiveness, and this is the reason many players prefer the blues harp and are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to improve its chromatic capabilities.
The excerpt fades on the chromatic once again; even though the harmonicas are different types, this tune illustrates the increasing convergence between the diatonic and chromatic harps.

It is defined by an L-M axis along which the signals of the L and M cones covary to keep their sum constant, an S-cone isolating axis, and an achromatic axis where the signals of the three cone classes vary in proportion.
This signal is then divided by a normalization signal with a chromatic signature that can differ substantially from that of the receptive field.

The chromatic response properties of each cell were characterized with drifting gratings that varied sinusoidally in chromaticity.
Striate cortex cells, on the other hand, are tuned to all of the various chromatic axes, with a slight tendency, however, to be tuned off the LGN axes, and thus more in the regions of the perceptually unique hues, which are also off the LGN axes.
By grouping the cells according to their chromatic peaks, it is possible to evaluate the relationship of LGN cells and V1 cells to (i) the cardinal LGN axes, centered at 0°, 90°, 180°,

Stock chromatic harmonicas normally come with Solo tuned where the full scale in the key of the harmonica is laid out over 4 holes for every octave and by pressing the slide in the pitch of each hole is raised by a semitone.
Hohner offer a range of 16 hole chromatic harmonicas from the Chromonica 64 with classic covers, Super 64 which is highly regarded by Franz Chmel, to the expensive gold plated Super 64X with double reedplates for improving the tone and response of the bottom octave.
They are the same as 12 chromatic harmonicas however their note layout finishes at different point due to the incomplete octave at the top.

 History of the Keyboard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The piano utilizes a tuning format called "just intonation", a system whereby we are able to command the expression of all the sounds that are requred to be heard within the compass of an octave in order that the degrees of each and every possible scale may be correctly and exactly rendered.
Guido's diatonic scale, eight full tones with seven intervals of which two were semitones, was used in the first claivchords, which had 20 keys.
Since the develoment of the piano many experiments have been made with so-called "chromatic" keyboards, in which the semitones were on a level with the full tones.

This twelve-tone "chromatic scale" can be heard by starting at any piano key and then playing the next dozen white and fl keys in succession.
Different musical traditions have characteristic sound because many cultures have devised scales from a subset of the full chromatic scale, with different distances, or "intervals," between the tones.
But all cultures favour certain intervals from the chromatic scale, and listeners judge these same intervals to create the most harmonious combinations of two tones.

In western music there is a scale called the Chromatic scale which is a scale made up of twelve pitches each a half step apart between the root note and it's octave.
When scales, like the chromatic scale or the extended Anasazi flute scale begin to have many half steps the rules that make up how a key behaves breaks down and they loses their tonal center.
