Heptatonic means any scale with 7 notes. Diatonic scales are heptatonic, but they also have to have 5 whole steps and 2 half steps placed as far from each other as possible. The major and natural minor scales are 2 out of the 7 possible diatonic scales, but there are 792 (12! / 7! (12! - 7!) ) total possible heptatonic scales. You can play 7 of them on your harmonica (the diatonic ones), but probably each one only in a certain key.

What are best sites for harmonica music?
If you play the simple ten hole diatonic scale (no flat or sharp notes) or are just a beginner, try www.theofficenet.com/~rad. There is a section on how to play a harmonica using a dual binary chart system. Play a song in less than a minute. It also has a conversion chart to change regular music notation into harmonica hole numbers, and the blow or draw, for the diatonic scale. Further it has songs for beginners, and all is free. (Special note: if you convert a song that is younger than 150 copyright years, play it for yourself or friends, but not for money... or you will be faced with possibly paying royalties.)
What songs can be played on diatonic harmonica?
A diatonic harmonica can play up to three octaves by using a playing technique called bending; it can thus be used to play any song. It is mostly used to play folk, country and of course blues music.Despite it's toy-look diatonic harmonicas are quite difficult to fully master and require musical theory knowledge and exercise.
What harmonica do you play if guitar chords are E9 Dm7 Am7 and B7?
That depends on the type or style of music you're playing...most music requires you to play harp in the same key as the song itself, while blues music has you play harp in "4ths". In other words, if the song is in the key of "E", then the harp you use would be in the key of "A". Harmonica selection depends on the ability of the player, the type of harmonic available to him and what he feels will be the easiest to play for the given song. Looking at the chords listed I am guessing that the music is in the key of Dm. The chords listed fit a 6-2-5-1 progression. Dm can be played on a C major diatonic harmonica. The player would be playing in Third Position. With root notes at the 1, 4 and 8 draw (inhale) holes. The player could play a Lee Oskar Dm harmonica as well and might find that easier. He would play that harmonica in second position with roots at 2 draw, 3, 6 and 9 blow. . He could also select a G harmonica and play that in second position as well but he will be required to bend a few notes. Chord selection for the harmonica player is somewhat limited. There are only two or three tri-tone chords available on a given diatonic harmonica (unless one is among the most advanced players); The tonic and the dominant. Most chords will be arpeggiated.

What is the difference between a chromatic and a diatonic harmonica?
A diatonic harmonica is a harmonica that is set in a key signature. This is so people can do improvised harmonica solos just by randomly blowing and it sounds great (or at least in key). Yes I know, your probably thinking as I was when I found this out, "So those country guys that play harmonica and play guitar at the same time are not actually that skilled?". Yes that's correct.A chromatic harmonica contains all the semitones. This requires some brains as, unless you want to play atonal (with no key), you have to know where to blow (catchy). People would use this if they wanted to changed key during a piece or if they wanted to use accidentals, or maybe they just want to prove to their friends how amazing they are.Hope that answers it.
